  .then((user) => console.log(JSON.stringify(user)))
  .catch((err) => console.log(err));

Fetching the anime and manga lists of the authenticated user

import { MediaListGroup, MediaListStatus } from "anilist-wrapper";

let lists: MediaListGroup[] = [];
let [animeWatching, animeCompleted, animeDropped, animePaused,
    mangaReading, mangaCompleted, mangaDropped, mangaPaused] = lists;

await AnilistClient.fetchUserAnimeList()
  .then((collection) => {
    collection.lists!.map((l) => {
      if (l.status === MediaListStatus.Current) {
        animeWatching = l;
      }
      else if (l.status === MediaListStatus.Completed) {
        animeCompleted = l;
      }
      else if (l.status === MediaListStatus.Dropped) {
        animeDropped = l;
      }
      else if (l.status === MediaListStatus.Paused) {
        animePaused = l;
      }
    });
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
  });

await AnilistClient.fetchUserMangaList()
  .then((collection) => {
    collection.lists!.map((l) => {
      if (l.status === MediaListStatus.Current) {
        mangaReading = l;
      }
      else if (l.status === MediaListStatus.Completed) {
        mangaCompleted = l;
      }
      else if (l.status === MediaListStatus.Dropped) {
        mangaDropped = l;
      }
      else if (l.status === MediaListStatus.Paused) {
        mangaPaused = l;
      }
    });
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
  });

Searching anime and manga

let animes = [] as Media[];
let mangas = [] as Media[];

await AnilistClient.searchAnime("Gintama", {
  page: 1,
  perPage: 10,
})
  .then((data) => animes = data)
  .catch((err) => console.log(err));

await AnilistClient.searchManga("Gintama", {
  page: 1,
  perPage: 10,
})
  .then((data) => mangas = data)
  .catch((err) => console.log(err));

Getting more details of anime and manga

await AnilistClient.animeDetails(animes[0])
  .then((details) => console.log(JSON.stringify(details)))
  .catch((err) => console.log(err));

await AnilistClient.mangaDetails(mangas[0])
  .then((details) => console.log(JSON.stringify(details)))
  .catch((err) => console.log(err));

Searching characters

let characters = [] as Character[];

let nonDetailedCharacter = {} as Character;

let detailedCharacter = {} as Character;

await AnilistClient.searchCharacter("Gintoki", {
  page: 1,
  perPage: 10,
})
  .then((charactersResponse) => {
    characters = charactersResponse;
    nonDetailedCharacter = characters[0];
    })
  .catch((err) => console.log(err));

Getting more details of a character

Merges two Character objects, one without details (returned from .searchCharacter) and the other one with details.

await AnilistClient.characterDetails(nonDetailedCharacter)
  .then(async (detailedCharacterResponse) => {
    detailedCharacter = detailedCharacterResponse;
    console.log(JSON.stringify(detailedCharacter));
  })
  .catch((err) => console.log(err));

  somevariable,
  anothervariable
}}).then(...).catch(...)
