What its about

The anime-cli is a commandline app created using javascript modules and an external api which can be found here. The anime-cli app gives you information about the number of episodes of the anime, if its completed or not and tells you all its movies. You can also visit the npm site for this cli app here.

How to install the commandline app

As the app is a npm package you first need to install NodeJS and NPM as these are the requirements for this app. Now since to make this an app or to be more clear, to be able to run this app from any directory iin the terminal/cmd, you need to install this npm package globally. To install a npm package globally you need to have root priviledges and include global flag during the installation of any npm package. To install this commandline app:
If you are using mac or linux:

  sudo npm install -g @genzyy/anime-cli

Or if you are using windows:

  npm install -g @genzyy/anime-cli

Change Log

v1.3.1

• Thanks to @atul-g for creating a much better help section and adding a version check command.
• Added a config file which is used for setting limit for the results and to show only the matched results.
• The config file in Linux/MacOS gets stored at ./config/configstore/@genzyy/anime-cli.json and generally gets stored at $CONFIG/package-name/config.json.
• An example config would be like

  {
	"setLimit": false,
	"limit": 10,
	"onlyMatches": false
}

• To set a limit on the data fetched run anime-cli setLimit true <number-results-to-show>.
• To unset the limit run anime-cli setLimit false.
• You can also fetch only the titles which match to your query, for this run anime-cli onlyMatches true or to unset it run anime-cli onlyMatches false.
• Also instead of running these commands, you can manually edit the config file and change accordingly.

v1.1.2

• Fixed a bug where it threw an error when only anime-cli was run.

v1.1.1

With the help from:

• @MichalNemecek

Added a feature to search anime even in lowercase when passed in the arguments.

v1.0.2

Thanks to:

• @Gamecube762

For adding 'type' section for a better sorting of movies and TV shows.

Usage

Now that you have installed the app, you can run anime-cli in your terminal or cmd and it will show you recent animes and their episodes and airing status. To get data about a specific anime or about its seasons and movies, run:

  anime-cli <anime-name>

For example:

  anime-cli Naruto

The keyword that you have used to search about the anime, if that keyword matches to any title in the result array them that anime will be highlighted in green color so that it shows that this anime is probably connected to the anime keyword that you have used to search about.

Some Useful Notes

The cli app is currently in development and is only mantained by me and so the development will be a little slow as I have to do my college work also. Sorry for that! But dont worry, I will keep adding new features and argument passing features for a more accurate data fetching. Also, I request you while using the cli app try to pass the exact name of the anime for example pass Boku No Hero instead of boku no hero so as to get the highlighting of the animes which contain the exact names that you have passed in the arguments.
