Description

If the application could parse commands to produce some output, it can be helpful to many users.

For example, $time should return the exact time when the command was parsed.

Some essential commands are:

  • $time returns the current time in the format HH:MM:SS in a 24-hour standard
  • $date returns the current date in the format DD:MM:YYYY
  • $get_profile searches for a user on GitHub and returns their profile in the form of a card along with a link to their GitHub profile
  • $joke returns a randomly generated joke
  • $pun returns a randomly generated pun
  • $quote returns a randomly generated developer quote

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a command parser that listens for messages starting with '$' and returns the appropriate response (time, date, GitHub profile, joke, pun, quote). Use a switch or object mapping to handle each command. For external data like jokes and GitHub profiles, consider using free APIs or local data.
