Evaluate a News Article with Natural Language Processing

Introduction

It is a web tool that allows users to run Natural Language Processing (NLP) on articles or blogs found on other websites. This project is part of the Udacity Front End Web Developer Nanodegree Program.

The project aims at practicing the following skills:

• Setting up Webpack
• Sass styles
• Webpack Loaders and Plugins
• Creating layouts and page design
• Service workers
• Using APIs and creating requests to external urls

Installation

1. Run npm install to install all the dependencies.
2. Create a file named .env and supply with your API key for MeaningCloud. For example:

   API_KEY=your_foo_bar_api_key

   That completes the initial setup.
3. To start a development build, use npm run build-dev
4. To start a production build, use npm run build-prod
5. Use npm run start to start the Express server.
6. To run unit testing for the client side JavaScript, use npm test
