We’ve have recently started working on a new Open Source module. This module is an alternate, and in our opinion, a better interface for reading the nodejsreactions blog. If you want to submit to the nodejsreaction blog you could either use a browser directly or use raw HTTP requests. The main reason for writing a competitor to the thumblr submit button was that we wanted something more sane (for our tastes anyway) while working with the gifs that is available from on their blog. So we packed it with features that we needed to work with nodejsreactions’s puns, so it’s highly opinionated and exposes a completely different, but in our opinion, more readable interface and it ensures a stable, normalised text format for all returned results.
Once we implemented the core functionality we were ready to release it to The npm Registry so other readers of npmreactions’s blog could use the fruits of our labour to consume the amazing material available. But it needed a name. We’ve always been fans of multiple-dashed-long-human-readable-modulenames-that-describe-our-case, we prefer one word names over nodejsreactors. This makes it easier for people to remember what the module does and results in smaller and longer enterprise code. So after a search for various of keywords we found out that the module name nodejs-reactions-thumblr-api-client was still available in the registry. In the four years that the registry existed nobody took the effort in registering it. This name was and is a perfect fit for our module as it interacts with the nodejsreactions blog. accessible online.
So this module has now been released to The npm Registry and is available to all avid consumers of this excellent content. Simply run “npm i -g nodejs-reactions-thumblr-api-client” and you will have a handy “nodejs-reactions-thumblr-api-client” command available at your disposal to assist with the ingestion of the wisdom provided by nodejsreactions.
