Use as a library

[Ephigenia]

@wcauchois I’ve published a new version v0.5.0 which you now can use in your library. See the example in the README.md: https://github.com/Ephigenia/ikea-availability-checker#api
Please post another issue if there’s something missing.

That's great! Thank you @Ephigenia.

@wcauchois sorry for that brief previous brief answer

Yes sure, I can optimize the sources for being used as a library. Are there any requirements that you have that would be nice to fulfil?

[Ephigenia]

The first issue identified seems to be that the "main" entry in the package.json points to the source/cli.js script which becomes the file that is loaded when require('ikea-availability-checker'); is loaded: https://github.com/Ephigenia/ikea-availability-checker/blob/master/package.json#L39

I’ll have to check what’s the most common cause to solve this. Sure there’ll be a solution.

I’ve been thinking about this. The most anticipated feature I can think of would be "What’s the current item in Store B of product A" … which could look like this:

// buCode is country specific
const checker = require('ikea-availability-checker');
await checker.availability(buCode, productId);

What bothers me is the question of how the user/programmer knows about the buCode. There are several lookup functions in the stores but they might be to difficult to use.

@wcauchois can you give me some insights on how you'd like to use the lib?

[Ephigenia]

Would be happy to see for what the lib is used then.
