# The Holy Bible API
### About
A typescript/class based api wrapper for 'https://bible-api.com/'. The API provides simple yet useful methods that can help developers fetch verses from the Holy Bible based on book names, chapter, verse as well as provide a translated version.
### Getting Started
- Download the NPM Package into your application folder
```console
foo@foobar-terminal~: npm install --save the-holy-bible-api
```
- Import the package in your respective file.
```javascript
import HolyBible from "the-holy-bible-api";
```
- Create a class instance in your file and then use a method to fetch a verse from the bible. Please note that you would need some function or wrapper that can handle async/await based requests from this API.
```javascript
import HolyBible from "the-holy-bible-api";
async function run() {
const myBible = new HolyBible();
const result = await myBible.fetchRandomVerse({});
//... rest of your code
}
run();
```
### Usage (Methods/API)
- ```fetchRandomVerse(arg): ``` will help to fetch a single random verse from the bible api endpoint. Accepts one argument that takes the following shape:
```javascript
/*
arg: {
langId?: string // optional param - check 'https://bible-api.com/' translation section for the 'identifiers'
}
*/
const myBible = new HolyBible();
const result = await myBible.fetchRandomVerse({langId: "bkr"});
```
- ```fetchASingleVerse(arg):``` will help to fetch a single verse, this will be based on the type of input that the method recieves. Accepts one argument that takes the following shape:
```javascript
/*
arg: {
langId?: string // optional param - check 'https://bible-api.com/' translation section for the 'identifiers'
name: string // (required): name of the book like "Isaiah" or "Ezekiel" or "Esther",
chapter: number // (required): chapter number
verse: number // (required): verse number
}
*/
const myBible = new HolyBible();
const props = {
langId: "web",
name: "Ezekiel",
chapter: 1,
verse: 3
};
const result = await myBible.fetchASingleVerse(props);
```
- ```fetchChapterVersesByRange(arg):``` will help return a set of verses, based on the chapter given. Accepts one argument that takes the following shape:
```javascript
/*
arg: {
langId?: string // optional param - check 'https://bible-api.com/' translation section for the 'identifiers'
name: string // (required): name of the book like "Isaiah" or "Ezekiel" or "Esther",
chapter: number // (required): chapter number
start: number // (required): the starting point verse
end: number // (required): the ending point verse
}
*/
const myBible = new HolyBible();
const props = {
langId: "web",
name: "Ezekiel",
chapter: 1,
start: 3,
end: 5
};
const result = await myBible.fetchChapterVersesByRange(props);
```
- ```fetchChapterVersesByMultiRange(arg):``` will help fetch multiple verses from multiple chapters. Accepts one argument that takes the following shape:
```javascript
arg: {
langId?: string // optional param - check 'https://bible-api.com/' translation section for the 'identifiers'
name: string // (required): name of the book like "Isaiah" or "Ezekiel" or "Esther",
range: Array<{chapter: number, verses: string[]}>
}
const myBible = new HolyBible();
const props = {
langId: "web",
name: "Ezekiel",
range: [
{chapter: 1, verses: ["1-3", "4"]},
{chapter: 2, verses: ["1", "2", "5-7"]}
...etc
]
};
const result = await myBible.fetchChapterVersesByMultiRange(props);
```
- ```fetchSystemHelp():``` will provide information about this API package. It will also list all the Identifiers from the translation section as well which you can use in your project.
```javascript
const myBible = new HolyBible();
const result = myBible.fetchSystemHelp() // this is a regular sync method
```
