## Installation
```shell-session
npm i --save @phun-ky/angle
```
## Usage
Either import and run the required functions:
```javascript

const angleValue = angle(0, 0, 3, 4);
console.log(angleValue); // 53.13
```
## API
### angle()
```ts
function angle(cx, cy, ex, ey, normalize?): number;
```
Defined in:
[main.ts:24](https://github.com/phun-ky/angle/blob/main/src/main.ts#L24)
Returns the angle between two sets of coordinates.
#### Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default value | Description |
| ------------ | --------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `cx` | `number` | `undefined` | The x-coordinate of the first point. |
| `cy` | `number` | `undefined` | The y-coordinate of the first point. |
| `ex` | `number` | `undefined` | The x-coordinate of the second point. |
| `ey` | `number` | `undefined` | The y-coordinate of the second point. |
| `normalize?` | `boolean` | `true` | If the angle output should be normalized to a value between 0° and 360°. |
#### Returns
`number`
The angle between the given coordinates.
#### Throws
Missing input for `angle`.
#### Throws
Parameters for `angle` do not have the required type.
#### Example
```ts
// Calculate the angle between two points
const angleValue = angle(0, 0, 3, 4);
console.log(angleValue); // 53.13
// Normalized
const angleValue = angle(0, 0, -3, -4, true);
console.log(angleValue); // 233.13
```
