Composing all five programs

Now that we have completed all five programs, it's time to put them all together so that we can use our tool to find an available domain name for our chat application. The simplest way to do this is to use the technique we have been using throughout this chapter: using pipes in a terminal to connect the output and input.

In the terminal, navigate to the parent folder of the five programs and run the following single line of code:

./synonyms/synonyms | ./sprinkle/sprinkle | ./coolify/coolify |  ./domainify/domainify | ./available/available

Once the programs are running, type in a starting word and see how it generates suggestions before checking their availability.

For example, typing in chat might cause the programs to take the following actions:

1. The word chat goes into synonyms, which results in a series of synonyms:

   • confab

   • confabulation

   • schmooze

2. The synonyms flow into sprinkle; here they are augmented with web-friendly prefixes and suffixes, such as the following:

   • confabapp...
