Getting started

$ npm install --save inspirational-quotes

Installation

This is a Node.js module available through the npm registry.

Before installing, download and install Node.js.

Installation is done using the npm install command:

$ npm install inspirational-quotes

Usage

const Quote = require('inspirational-quotes');

console.log(Quote.getQuote()); // returns quote (text and author)
console.log(Quote.getQuote({ author: false }); // return quote without author
console.log(Quote.getRandomQuote()); // return any random quote

• getQuote() method returns an object containing text and author.

 {  
    "text":"My number one piece of advice is: you should learn how to program.",
    "author":"Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook"
 }

• getRandomQuote() method returns a random inspirational quote : You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.

Options

Additionally you can provide options to getQuote method. By default { author: true } is used.

getQuote({ author: false });

• { author: true }: Returns a quote with author information
• { author: false }: Returns a quote without author information

Note: Recommended to use getQuote with { author: false} option instead of getRandomQuote as it will be deprecated in the further versions. It’s available just to ensure the backward compatability.
