sit-counter-app 📊

A simple and fast CLI tool to count word occurrences in a text file.
You can either:

• get the count of all words, or
• search for the occurrence of a specific word

🚀 Installation

Install globally using npm:

npm install -g sit-counter

Make sure Node.js (v18+) is installed on your system.

🧑‍💻 Usage

1️⃣ Count all words in a file

sit-counter-app <file-path>

Example:

sit-counter-app file.txt

Output:

{
  hello: 3,
  world: 2,
  node: 5
}

2️⃣ Count a specific word

sit-counter-app <file-path> <word>

Example:

sit-counter-app file.txt for

Output:

{
  for: 3
}

🔹 The search is case-insensitive

🛠 How It Works

• Reads the file using Node.js fs/promises
• Splits text using regex (\W+)
• Normalizes words to lowercase
• Uses an object to track word frequencies
• Accepts CLI arguments using process.argv

📂 Example

sit-counter-app notes.txt javascript

Result:

{
  javascript: 7
}

⚠️ Error Handling

• If file path is missing → shows usage message
• If file does not exist → shows readable error
• Prevents app crash with try/catch

📦 Tech Stack

• Node.js
