@nhl-api/teams

A list of every NHL team that ever existed.

yarn add @nhl-api/teams

Usage

teams.json is an array of objects containing 5 key/value pairs:

id: (number) a unique number which you can use to to find more team info with the NHL API.
name: full name (location, name) of the team
abbreviation: team abbreviation code
nicknames: any well-known nicknames the team has
colors: color scheme of each team (includes retired or alternate jersey colors)
logo: primary team logo (transparent SVG)
goalHorn: team goal horn (no song) between 5-10s
goalHornSong: team goal horn with song (full track)
`isActive: boolean to filter currently active teams

There's also a helper function available (getTeamId) that matches a passed param to either the team's location, name, or nickname and returns the ID.

import teams, { getTeamId } from "@nhl-api/teams";
import axios from "axios"; // for http requests

// at its simplest, you can do whatever you want with the full list
// (teams.map(t => t.name))

// using the `getTeamId` helper,
// you can get the team id from the team name
const bruinsId = getTeamId("boston bruins");
// or part of the team name
const bruinsId = getTeamId("boston");
// or a nickname
const bruinsId = getTeamId("big bad bruins");
// all return the id - 6

// you can then use the id to make api calls to endpoints related to team stats/info
axios
  .get(`https://statsapi.web.nhl.com/api/v1/teams/${bruinsId}`)
  .then(response => response.data)
  .then(data => data);
