dinky.js

A JavaScript client for Derpibooru API

Installation

You can install this package from npm:

npm install dinky.js

Or with yarn:

yarn add dinky.js

Usage

Dinky implements chainable API to build each request and all requests will return a Promise that resolves data taken from Derpibooru API. The minimal example that will return an image by known ID:

import dinky from "dinky.js"

// You can specify to which address request will be sent in Dinky's constructor
// The following request will return the 1th uploaded image from Derpibooru.
// Equivalent to https://trixiebooru.org/images/0.json request
dinky().images().id(0).then(console.log)

Or if you want to find pictures by their tags, just use .search() method:

import dinky from "dinky.js"

// You can specify tags right in the .search() method
// By default all requests will be sent to derpibooru.org, but you can
// manually set one of Derpibooru's host in constructor options if you need:
dinky({url: "trixiebooru.org"}).search(["artist:rainbow", "safe"]).raindom()
  .then(console.log)

• {string | string[]} [tags = null] – a tag or a list of tags and returns Search instance

class Images > Request

constructor() -> {Images}

Creates a request handler for /images.json

Instance methods
