Build a Simple Cowsay Based "Hello World" Application

For this assignment, you will create a simple cowsay application similar to the one we created in lecture. Your primary challenge is to use a frontend framework, other than ReactJS, to build it's core functionality. Granted you are using Angular 1.6, the requirements for your application are as follows:

• create a form and submit button that will be used to save the current state of the cow's text
  • use the ng-submit directive to control the form's on-submit functionality
  • add a button that uses the ng-click directive to populate a second pre tag with the current pre tag state
• add a button that uses the ng-click directive to create an undo effect
  • whenever this button is clicked, it should reset the second pre tag with the content it last showed
• add a select menu that uses the ng-repeat directive
  • this should be used to populate the select menu with the names of all cowsay files
    • hint: cowsay.list((err, list) => {})
• when a cowsay filename is selected from the menu, have the first pre tag use the selected cowfile
• use the ng-show directive to show the second pre tag only if the history state is not empty

If you are planning on using another framework, the functionality above is not required. Simply getting text to show up on the screen and including basic demonstration level "click" or "submit" functionality is sufficient. You may go as far with this build as you'd like.
