Scrapes the web for the collectible dice game's card images. It is currently powered by dicemastersrules.com

Warning: dicemastersrules down?

Unfortunately, at the time of this writing dicemastersrules.com seems to be down. This library depends on that website to function so unless it comes back consider this package deprecated.

Installation

npm install --save dm-lookup

Usage

var dm = require('dm-lookup');

var search = dm.search('storm');

search.on('list', console.log); // quick list, the cards lack some fields 
like image
search.on('card', console.log); // full card info, fires for each result
search.on('done', console.log); // complete list of full cards, slow!

// need to start a new search? no problem
search.abort()

.on('list', fn)

Considerations

Making multiple requests to a Wordpress site is slow. It will have to do until someone provides a proper API. (｡･ω･｡)
