PunkAPI Javascript Wrapper

A JS wrapper for the BrewDog Punk API V2 - an API for retrieving data about BrewDog's beers built by @samjbmason.

Installation

There are 3 ways to install the PunkAPI Javascript Wrapper.

Clone

Clone this repo into your project with:

git clone https://github.com/brettdewoody/punkapi-javascript-wrapper.git

NPM / Yarn

Install via npm or yarn with:

npm install --save punkapi-javascript-wrapper

or

yarn add punkapi-javascript-wrapper

Bower

Install via bower with:

bower install punkapi-javascript-wrapper

Usage

There are several ways the wrapper can be used. The wrapper is available as a library script (option #1), can be imported with Webpack into a bundled script for the browser (option #2), or can be imported into Node (option #3).

Library (Option #1)

Include the compiled library script on your page with:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/punkapi-javascript-wrapper/dist/punkapi-javascript-wrapper.js"></script>

Then create a new instance of the PunkAPIWrapper and get to work:

const punkAPI = new PunkAPIWrapper()

Webpack for the Browser (Option #2)

Import PunkAPIWrapper in your entry file with

const PunkAPIWrapper = require('/path/to/punkapi-javascript-wrapper/src/punkapi-javascript-wrapper.js')

Then create a new instance of PunkAPIWrapper and get to work:

const punkAPI = new PunkAPIWrapper()

Finally webpack your code using your Webpack config.

Node (Option #3)

The same implementation as Option #2.

Import PunkAPIWrapper in your entry file with

const PunkAPIWrapper = require(punkapi-javascript-wrapper)

Then create a new instance of PunkAPIWrapper and get to work:

const punkAPI = new PunkAPIWrapper()

Here's a Glitch demo showing how to use the wrapper in Node and the results:

Methods

The wrapper provides 5 methods for retrieving all the BrewDog-related info you want:

Note: All methods query the BrewDog Punk API using an asynchronous fetch request and return a Promise. This means you'll need to use .then() to wait for the response and provide a callback for handling the returned data.

const punkAPI = new PunkAPIWrapper()

const randomBeer = PunkAPI.getRandom()

randomBeer.then(beer => {
  alert(beer[0].name)
})

getBeer(:id)

Returns an array of length 1 with the beer matching an ID of :id. :id should be a number corresponding to the ID of the desired beer.

Example: const beer1 = punkAPI.getBeer(1)

getBeers(:options)

Returns an array with beers matching the :options. :options is an object consisting of available filters (below).

Example: const strongBeers = punkAPI.getBeers({'abv_gt': 8})

Param Type Details
abv_gt number Returns all beers with ABV greater than the supplied number
abv_lt number Returns all beers with ABV less than the supplied number
ibu_gt number Returns all beers with IBU greater than the supplied number
ibu_lt number Returns all beers with IBU less than the supplied number
ebc_gt number Returns all beers with EBC greater than the supplied number
ebc_lt number Returns all beers with EBC less than the supplied number
beer_name string Returns all beers matching the supplied name (this will match partial strings as well so e.g punk will return Punk IPA), if you need to add spaces just add an underscore (_).
yeast string Returns all beers matching the supplied yeast name, this performs a fuzzy match, if you need to add spaces just add an underscore (_).
brewed_before date Returns all beers brewed before this date, the date format is mm-yyyy e.g 10-2011
brewed_after date Returns all beers brewed after this date, the date format is mm-yyyy e.g 10-2011
hops string Returns all beers matching the supplied hops name, this performs a fuzzy match, if you need to add spaces just add an underscore (_).
malt string Returns all beers matching the supplied malt name, this performs a fuzzy match, if you need to add spaces just add an underscore (_).
food string Returns all beers matching the supplied food string, this performs a fuzzy match, if you need to add spaces just add an underscore (_).
ids string (id|id|...) Returns all beers matching the supplied ID's. You can pass in multiple ID's by separating them with a | symbol.

For the most up-to-date filters please see the PunkAPI docs.

getRandom()

Returns an array of length 1 with a random beer

Example: const randomBeer = punkAPI.getRandom()

getRateLimit()

Returns a number displaying the rate limit. This is currently set to 3600 requests per hour per IP address.

Example: const rateLimit= punkAPI.getRateLimit()

getRateLimitRemaining()

Returns a number displaying the available number of requests remaining for this IP address.

Example: const rateLimitRemaining= punkAPI.getRateLimitRemaining()

Examples

Get a random beer

const randomBeer = PunkAPI.getRandom()

randomBeer.then(beer => {
  alert(beer[0].name)
})

Get strong beers

const strongBeers = PunkAPI.getBeers({'abv_gt': 8})

strongBeers.then(beers => {
  beers.forEach(beer => {
    alert(beer.name)
  })
})

Get remaining request limit const remainingRequests = PunkAPI.getRateLimitRemaining()

remainingRequests.then(requests => {
  alert(requests)
})
