API
================================================================================
The API interface which helps you include the check into your library is kind of new. If you have suggestions for improvements feel free to [open an issue](https://github.com/Ephigenia/ikea-availability-checker/issues).
```javascript
const checker = require('ikea-availability-checker');
(async function() {
const result = await checker.availability('394', '00501436');
console.log('RESULT', result);
})();
```
Checkout more examples in the [examples](./examples) directory.
Development
================================================================================
## Requirements
- [nodejs](https://nodejs.org) for version info check [.nvmrc](./.nvmrc).
*it is strongly recommended to use either nvm and the same node version or the docker container as a development environment*
## Debug
Node provides a simple way to debug all HTTP-related requests and responses using `NODE_DEBUG`:
NODE_DEBUG=http npm run start
## Testing
The project has a preconfigured test runner [mocha](https://mochajs.org/). Test coverage is not good.
Running all tests will also create coverage reports shown after the test results.
npm run test
### TDD
npm run tdd
### Run Specific tests
run test -- --grep="stock reporter"
### Smoke Testing
Two shell scripts can be used for testing the different output formats and all or some countries in the "/scripts" directory.
### Request Testing
There’s a public postman collection: [IKEA Workspace](https://www.postman.com/crimson-rocket-271330/workspace/ikea/overview) for you to access which is also linked with this repository: /postman/collection
## Release
Releases are automated and created by CI managed by [semantic-release](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release).
## Trouble Shooting
- I want to deactivate colored output
Colored output can be disabled by setting the `FORCE_COLOR=1` before running a command: `FORCE_COLOR=0 npx ikea-availability-checker stores de`
