Installation

npm install donut-image-fetcher

Usage

Automatically Insert a Random Donut Image

The insertDonutImage() function allows you to automatically insert a random donut image into an HTML element by specifying the element's ID.

  <script type="module">
    import { insertDonutImage } from 'donut-image-fetcher';

    window.onload = function() {
      insertDonutImage('donut-image', 'YOUR_PIXABAY_API_KEY'); // Replace with your Pixabay API key
    };
  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Our Delicious Product</h1>
  <img id="donut-image" alt="Delicious Donut">
</body>
</html>

const app = express();

app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

app.get('/donut', async (req, res) => {
  const donutUrl = await getDonutUrl('YOUR_PIXABAY_API_KEY'); // Replace with your API key
  res.render('donut', { donutUrl });
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server is running on http://localhost:3000');
});

EJS Template (donut.ejs):

Error Handling

The library provides basic error handling. If an image cannot be fetched or an element cannot be found, errors will be logged to the console.

import { insertDonutImage } from 'donut-image-fetcher';

insertDonutImage('non-existent-element', 'YOUR_PIXABAY_API_KEY')
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error('Failed to insert donut image:', error);
