Usage

• Install dotenv
• Add a .env file
• Add your API_KEY (can get it here), MEETUP, EVENT_ID, and NUMBER_OF_WINNERS to the .env file
• Require the module in your files
• Call the generateOneLuckyWinner, generateThreeLuckyWinners, or generateCustomLuckyWinners methods with the appropriate options to get name(s) returned

Note: All values can be added without the use of a .env file, but for security reasons, try to keep your API_KEY in the .env.

Sample

Install the module.

$ npm i --save meetup-lucky-winner-generator

Add this to the app.js.

const meetupLuckyWinnerGenerator = require('meetup-lucky-winner-generator');

// Set the options for what meetup and event you want to get the lucky winner
require('dotenv').config();
const options = {
  meetup: process.env.MEETUP, // Add your Meetup here! 
  eventId: process.env.EVENT_ID, // Add your event ID here!,
  numberOfWinners: process.env.NUMBER_OF_WINNERS, // Add your winner count here!
  apiKey: process.env.API_KEY // Add your API KEY!
};

// Generate the lucky winner with the given options

// One winner
meetupLuckyWinnerGenerator
  .generateOneLuckyWinner(options)
  .then(luckyWinner => console.log(`Today's lucky winner is ${luckyWinner.member.name}!`))
  .catch(err => console.error('Invalid options: ', err.message));
