LIRI Language Interpretator

Summary

Welcome to LIRI, your own personal movie, concert, and song trivia treasure trove! With a few simple commands, LIRI can fetch information about any movie from the Open Movie Database, any song from Spotify, and tour information from any band using the Bands In Town API! LIRI also logs everything you search to a handy log.txt file should you need to review the information it has fetched for you.

Code Snippets

The following snippet shows the function that opens random.txt and parses a random line from it for LIRI to use

    if (liriSearch === "do-what-it-says") {
        fs.readFile('random.txt','utf8', function(err, data) {
            let commands = data.split('\n');
            let randIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * commands.length);
            let theCommand = commands[randIndex].split(',');
            liriSearch = theCommand[0];
            searchTerms = theCommand[1];
            doSearch();
        });
    }
