API

Methods

Get information (ie name or type) about a board.

• boards.getName(board)
• boards.getType(board)

Objects

Objects mapping short names to full names. boards.all contains the mapping for all the boards, boards.sfw contains mapping for only the SFW boards, etc.

• boards.all
• boards.admin
• boards.nsfw
• boards.sfw

Enumerated types

boards.getType(board) will return an enumerated type, which are really just numbers under the hood.

• boards.ADMIN
• boards.NSFW
• boards.SFW
• boards.INVALID

boards.INVALID is 0, so you can check if a board shortname is valid by doing:

const boards = require('4chan-boards')

if (boards.getType('not-a-board')) {
  console.log('this will not be printed')
}
