wmcommons

wmcommons

This module takes a file name of a Wikimedia Commons file and converts into the URL of the file itself, as Mediawiki installations have an odd directory structure.

Usage

• commons(filename, ssl)

The first argument is the file name used on Wikimedia projects. The second is a boolean governing whether to return the HTTPS version of the image or not.

var commons = require('wmcommons')
console.log(commons('Example.png'))
console.log(commons('Commons-logo-en.svg',true))

returns:
