Codeforces Helper

Codeforces Helper is a Node.js executable that accepts a URL to a problem or contest in www.codeforces.com, and sets up a folder for the problem with all the test cases. As a bonus, a template and test script is made! This saves a lot of setup time, so one can just focus on solving the problem! :smile:

NOTE: To use the test script, the C++ executable should be named "sol" (g++ -std=c++14 -o sol)

Codeforces Helper is free to use! If you like it, please support me and give it a star on my Github, www.github.com/callistusystan/codeforcesHelper :star:

If there are any problems with the tool, feel free to raise an issue on the Github repo, www.github.com/callistusystan/codeforcesHelper/issues or send me an email at callistusystan@gmail.com

Announcements

While Codeforces Helper is still working fine, I would like to introduce my newer and improved tool, Codr. Codr has a simpler API, and is designed the way I should have done when implementing cfhelper.

Codr's goal is to be able to parse problems from more coding platforms, which is possible with its extensible design.

Installation

Requirements:

1. Node.js with NPM

Steps:

1. Open a terminal (with Node.js installed)

2. Enter the following command:

       > npm install -g cfhelper

    Example: cfhelper ./contest1 http://codeforces.com/contest/1
    NOTE: URL must be a publicly accessible link to a Codeforces problem or contest

--set <templateFile>
