Typing test in your terminal
To just install typer
simply use this command:
go install github.com/maaslalani/typer@latest
To begin a typing test simply type typer
. This will generate random words for you to type and show you your WPM score.
typer
To change the length of the typing test, use the --length
flag.
typer -l 20
To set min word length, you can use --min-word-length
flag.
typer --min-word-length 5
There is no maximum value, but anything below 1 will count as no min length.
You can use Monkeytype as a source of words, just pass -m, --monkeytype
flag,
by default it'll use english
dictionary, you can change that by adding --monkeytype-language string
flag.
typer -m --monkeytype-language code_go
see: monkeytype/languages/_list.json
If you want to provide your own text, you can pass in a file name with the --file
flag. The typing test will use the contents of the specified file.
typer -f filename.txt
You can also pipe data by stdin
.
echo 'Text from stdin!' | typer
There is basic theme support, theme should be saved in config file (default $HOME/.typer.yaml
) and should look similar to this default theme:
theme:
#file: /an/absoulute/path/to/the/theme.yaml # if set, it will ignore everything below
bar:
color: '#4776E6' # basic color of the progressbar
#gradient: '#ff0000' # if passed, will generate a gradient from previous color to this one
graph:
# see: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/guptarohit/asciigraph#AnsiColor
# see: https://github.com/guptarohit/asciigraph/blob/master/color.go#L152-L292
color: blue # does not use rgb but rather ANSI codes
height: 3 # height of the graph
text:
error: # color when misspelled
background: '#f33'
foreground: '#fff'
typed: # color when character have been typed
foreground: '#fff'
#background: '#000' # optional, default theme does not add background
untyped: # color when still haven't been typed
foreground: '#555'
#background: '#000' # optional, default theme does not add background
