What this project does

This project requires npm to install third party libraries by using the command line. dotenv is used to load API keys from an .env file. Inquirer is used to collect user input. Based on the user input, Liri will use Request to make an HTTP request to the Bands in Town API, the Node Spotify API, and Axios to make an HTTP request to the OMDb API. Dates are parsed and manipulated using moment. Data logged in the terminal is styled with Chalk and the ASCII art is made using Nick Miner's FIGlet font, Roman. Search results are logged in a .txt file using fs.

How users can get started with this project

To properly use this Node app, you will need to request a Spotify key, a Bands In Town key, and a OMDb key. These keys must be stored in an .env file in the following format:

# Spotify API keys

SPOTIFY_ID=your-spotify-id
SPOTIFY_SECRET=your-spotify-secret

# Bands In Town API key

BANDSINTOWN_ID=your-bandsintown-id

# OMDb API key

OMDB_ID=your-omdb-id

How to Use:

1. Initialize Liri.

• After cloning or downloading the liri-node-app repo and creating an .env file with your API keys, enter node liri in the command line to call Liri into action.

2. Give a command.

• When prompted, give Liri your command. Your options include:
  • Find concert dates
  • Search for a song
  • Look up a movie
  • Another function

3. Enter your query.

• After giving your command, let Liri know specifically which concert, song, movie, or function you would like to search for.

4. Log search results.

• All valid search results are entered in the log.txt file.

5. Read and repeat!

• Liri will provide your search results right in the terminal and ask if you'd like to search for something else, as long as you'd like!
