WhatsApp Chat WordCloud Generator for sentiment analysis

This project is aimed at trying to understand the word dynamics between two people in a whatsapp chat to try and understand their sentiment. This is just a fun project I came up with to out of curiosity.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install wordcloud and matplotlib.

pip install wordcloud
pip install matplotlib

Usage

The project has the following import statements so make sure that all the conditions are met.

from wordcloud  import WordCloud, STOPWORDS                             # importing Wordcloud to create wordcloud object and define stop words
from os.path    import isfile, join                                     # importing isFile and join to detect if the items in the directory are files                         
from os         import listdir                                          # importing listdir to list items in the directory

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt                                         # importing matplotliib to process wordcloud data into an image
import os                                                               # importing os to get current working direcotry
