Lib-HN

This project (Lib-HN) is a lightweight package/library for interacting with the Hacker News API and uses the Axios library under the hood to handle the actual sending/receiving of requests.

Basic Usage

The following code block is a one way of using the library but there are more examples available in the ./examples directory.

import { LibHN } from 'lib-hn'

const client = new LibHN({ baseUrl: 'url-goes-here', version: 'v0' })

async function main() {
  try {
    const topStoryIds = await client.getStories('top')

    return topStoryIds
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('Error received when attempting to execute main() method...')
    throw err
  }
}

main()
  .then(res => {
    console.log(res)
    console.log('Execution completed successfully.')
  })
  .catch(err => console.error(err))
