Born-On

This is a Node package that can be used to retrieve the list of celebrities borned on a particular date. With the help of search engines we can find it easily. But when it comes to program, we need to have some technique to get that list in our program, So that we can further perform the desired operations. To achieve this we have exploited that power of search engines to get the name of celebrities borned on the specified date from the internet without using any particular API, just web scrapping.

Installing the Package

npm install born-on --save

Usage

After installing the package create a file with any name (say test.js) and write the folowing code-

var bornOn = require("born-on");
bornOn("02 october").then(info => {
    if (Array.isArray(info)) {
        for (let i = 0; i < info.length; i++) {
            console.log(info[i]);
            console.log(`\n`);
        }
    }
});

    /* OUTPUT:
        Mahatma Gandhi
        Richard III of England
        Roberto Firmino
        Johnnie Cochran
        Lal Bahadur Shastri
        Lorraine Bracco
        Huda Kattan
        Groucho Marx
    */

If you want to retrieve the list of celebrities borned on a particular date and in a particular country you can do it as following-

var bornOn = require("born-on");
bornOn("02 october", "India").then(info => {
    if (Array.isArray(info)) {
        for (let i = 0; i < info.length; i++) {
            console.log(info[i]);
            console.log(`\n`);
        }
    }
});

    /* OUTPUT:
        Mahatma Gandhi
        Lal Bahadur Shastri
        Asha Parekh
        Persis Khambatta
        Rohit Roy
        Ashutosh Kaushik
        Rachana Banerjee
        Praveen Kumar
    */

NOTE

There can be a maximum of two inputs-

1. Date of Birth in the following format
   • Date followed by Name of Month ( 02 October ).
2. Name of Country

The name of country can also be inserted at the run time by using any program or API that can provide the location using the IP address of the visitor.

The date in other formats may not be able to get the desired results as it is based on web scrapping.
