Kindred is a thin Node.js wrapper on top of Riot Games API for League of Legends
Kindred is a thin Node.js wrapper (with an optional rate limiter) on top of Riot Games API for League of Legends.
Hopefully there aren't too many bugs! I'm currently focusing on refactoring the code now. I'm planning to add caching in the near future.
My goal is to make a wrapper that is simple, sensible, and consistent. This project is heavily inspired by psuedonym117's Python wrapper. Look at the Usage Section to see what I mean.
This is my first try at making an API wrapper. I am open to any advice and help!

I'm pretty proud of the end result. The rate limiting isn't the best, but it does work and is enforced per region! Also, the method names are kinda iffy (minor inconsistencies), but it works really well for my other project and for when I need a quick script. I'll try to improve this library over the next few weeks.
yarn add kindred-api
// or npm install kindred-api
Make sure to check the official Riot Documentation to see what query parameters you can pass in to each endpoint (through the options parameter)!
Note: All region
parameters are OPTIONAL. All options
parameters are OPTIONAL unless stated otherwise.

Feel free to make a PR regarding anything (even the smallest typo or inconsistency).
There are a few inconsistencies and weird things within this libary that I don't know how to address since this is my first API wrapper and I'm still quite a big newbie.
For example, the two methods getChamp() and getChampion() are actually different.
getChamp() targets the champ endpoint
getChampion() targets the static endpoint
I didn't want to attach getChampion() with 'static' in any way or form since I thought it looked kind of annoying because then I would want to attach static to the other static methods as well (maybe that's better?).
March 31: I decided to combat the above by just namespacing the functions (k.Static.getChampion vs k.Champion.getChampion/get). The original functions are still usable though.
Right now, the code is also quite messy and there is a lot of repeated code. Function definitions are quite long because I include many aliases as well. I haven't thought of an elegant way to make a magic function that manages to work for every single endpoint request yet.
Any help and/or advice is appreciated!
