Ruby URL Word Counter

This is a simple Ruby script that scrapes a given URL and prints out the top 25 most frequently used words on the page.

Requirements

• Ruby (version specified in .ruby-version)
• Bundler

Installation

1. Clone this repository.
2. Run bundle install to install the required gems.

Usage

Run the script with a URL as an argument:

ruby main.rb 'hthttps://www.ruby-lang.org/en/'

The script will print the top 25 most frequently used words on the page, along with their counts.

Testing

Tests are written using the Minitest framework. You can run the tests using Rake:

rake test

The tests in main_test.rb cover various scenarios, including no arguments, invalid URLs, unreachable URLs, and a valid URL.

Assumptions Made/Notes

I leaned towards simplicity and ended up just using a single script to do all of the work. With more time I would've setup a web scraping class that would be easier to test. I believe the tests I wrote with minitest cover all of the test cases.

I am more familiar testing with RSpec, but opted for minitest since it's included with Ruby.

I am also more familiar with using Ruby as a part of Ruby on Rails as opposed to creating CLI tools.
