# jim-bot

Web interace which generates 10 sentences of random corporate gibberish.

Based on [pocket-jim][].  Ported from C to [Go][].

## Usage

Build and run container using [Podman][]:

    # clone git repo
    git clone https://git.pablotron.org/jim-bot

    # switch to cloned directory
    cd jim-bot

    # build container
    podman build -t jim-bot:latest .

    # run container bound to localhost:8080
    podman run -d -p 8080:8080 --restart=on-failure --name jim-bot jim-bot:latest

Then open <http://localhost:8080/> in your browser.

By default the sentences are returned as plain text delimited by
newlines.  If the request method is POST and the `Accept` header is set
to `application/json`, then the sentences are returned as a
[JSON][]-encoded array.

Example:

    $ curl -X POST -H 'accept: application/json' http://localhost:8080/
    ["uniquely myocardinate communities",...

    # build ./jim-bot
    make

    # run jim-bot on localhost:8080
    ./jim-bot

Then open <http://localhost:8080/> in your browser.

## Tests

Running tests:

    # run unit tests
    make test
