animepi v1.0.1

AnimePI

A Node.js helper library for AnimePI

Installation

npm install animepi

Getting Started

Setup is simple. Just require animepi and start making queries.

const Anime = require('animepi');

Anime.findById(7)
  .then(anime => console.log(anime));

Anime.find({ title: 'Terror in Resonance', year: 2014 })
  .then(res => console.log(res.results))

Methods

animepi has 2 simple methods to fetch data.

The first is findById which accepts an anime id and returns the data for that anime.

The second method is the find method, which accepts an object of search parameters. Here's the list of searchable params: title, description, year, studio, episodes, genre.

Say we wanted to find all anime by the animation studio Madhouse. We could search for studio like this:

Anime.find({ studio: 'madhouse' })

Note: String params aren't case sensitive and can be matched even if the entire string isn't provided. Madhouse or mad would have also worked.

If we wanted to narrow our search to anime by Madhouse from the year 2011, we could add another search param:

Anime.find({ studio: 'madhouse', year: 2011 })

If we wanted to sort the data by title in descending order, we could add the order and desc params:

Anime.find({ studio: 'madhouse', year: 2011, order: 'title', desc: true })

The find method returns a JavaScript object with several values, including the number of results, the previous and next page, and the actual results of the search. If you wanted to get straight to the results and print them to the console, you could do something like this:

Anime.find({ studio: 'madhouse' })
  .then(res => console.log(res.results));

Results are limited to 25 per page. You can access other pages with the page param:

Anime.find({ studio: 'madhouse', page: 3 })
