Error Handling

The module integrates advanced error handling with clear messages.

Example: Search Without Title

If a missing title or ID is provided, an error is thrown:

try {
  const anime = await AnilistAPIClient.anime.getByTitle('');
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error.message); // "A title is required to perform a search."
}

Example: API Error

In case of network errors or issues with the API:

try {
  const manga = await AnilistAPIClient.manga.getById(9999999);
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error.message); // "Error fetching data: ..."
}

Discord Bot Integration Example

To use this module in a Discord bot, you can create a command that retrieves anime or manga information when triggered by users.

Discord bot example:

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const { AnilistAPIClient } = require('anime-api-client');

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent] });

client.once('ready', () => {
  console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
  if (message.author.bot) return;

  const [command, ...args] = message.content.split(' ');

  if (command === '!anime') {
    const title = args.join(' ');
    if (!title) {
      return message.reply('Please provide the title of the anime.');
    }

    try {
      const anime = await AnilistAPIClient.anime.getByTitle(title);
      message.reply(`Found anime: ${anime.title.romaji} - ${anime.description}`);
    } catch (error) {
      message.reply(`Error: ${error.message}`);
    }
  }

  if (command === '!manga') {
    const title = args.join(' ');
    if (!title) {
      return message.reply('Please provide the title of the manga.');
    }

    try {
      const manga = await AnilistAPIClient.manga.getByTitle(title);
      message.reply(`Found manga: ${manga.title.romaji} - ${manga.description}`);
