Get urban dictionary definitions, immediately.
npm install easyurban
• Actually works (😱), without any unnecessary bloat or confusion from using other packages.
• Modern (es6), and lightweight (~4.5 kB packed)
### I'm hooked, how do I begin?
const UrbanDictionary = require('easyurban');
const dictionary = new UrbanDictionary;
The `new` keyword is optional, a dictionary can be created simply with UrbanDictionary() as well.
**Lookup terms with dictionary.lookup (await, promise .then()):**
const result = await dictionary.lookup('Urban dictionary');
dictionary.lookup('Urban dictionary')
.then(result => console.log(result.list))
.catch(console.error)
The result will have a list property, and `result.list` will be an array of (hopefully) a maximum of 10 elements.
**Random:**
const random = await dictionary.random();
**Error handling:**
Request handling errors (hopefully) contain three properties: error, code, and message
• error contains an Error object with a stack trace error.stack
• code contains the status code of the request
• message contains the body returned by the server. If possible, it will be a parsed JSON.
**Pagination:** If more than 10 definitions exist, fetch a specific page by specifying the second parameter as the page number.
const secondpage = await dictionary.lookup('Urban dictionary', 2);
