# owoify_erl
Turning your worst nightmare into a Rebar3 package on Hex.
- [Hex package](https://hex.pm/packages/owoify_erl)
This is an Erlang port of [mohan-cao's owoify-js](https://github.com/mohan-cao/owoify-js), which will help you turn any string into nonsensical babyspeak similar to LeafySweet's infamous Chrome extension.
Just like my other Owoify ports, three levels of owoness are available:
1. **owo (default)**: The most vanilla one.
2. **uwu**: The moderate one.
3. **uvu**: Litewawwy unweadabwal.
Please refer to the original [owoify-js repository](https://github.com/mohan-cao/owoify-js) for more information.
Using a Hex package written in Elixir with Rebar3 is not really straightforward. This Erlang port should make the process easier should you ever need owoifying something in Erlang.
## Reason for development
Because Erlang is an old yet still cool language and it deserves a owoify package, as using an Elixir package with Rebar3 in Erlang is not really straightforward. I also found Erlang's Prolog-like syntax can be terser sometimes.
## Installation
owoify_erl is [available on Hex](https://hex.pm/packages/owoify_erl). The package can be installed
by adding `owoify_erl` to your list of dependencies in `rebar.config`:
```erlang
{deps, [owoify_erl]}.
```
Documentation will be generated with [ExDoc](https://github.com/elixir-lang/ex_doc)
and published on [HexDocs](https://hexdocs.pm). Once published, the docs can
be found at [https://hexdocs.pm/owoify_erl](https://hexdocs.pm/owoify_erl).
## Usage
owoify_erl is implemented as a function inside the module `owoify_erl`. Erlang is a functional programming language, so you only need to call `owoify_erl:owoify()` to invoke it.
Note that while the source string is accepted as an ASCII string, the string returned by the function will be a `unicode:charlist()` due to Erlang's handling of Unicode texts.
```erlang
io:format("~ts~n", [owoify_erl:owoify("This is the string to owo! Kinda cute isn't it?")]),
io:format("~ts~n", [owoify_erl:owoify("This is the string to owo! Kinda cute isn't it?", uvu)]).
%% Possible output
%% This is teh stwing two owo! Kinda cute isn't it?
%% fwis is teh stwing two owowowouwu Kinda cute isn't it?
```
