kodie/stack-fanatic

A node module that uses Google's Puppeteer library to visit your Stack Overflow profile and check the progress of the badge you are currently tracking.

npm install stack-fanatic

The following options can be passed to any functions (however none of them are required):

• debug - A boolean stating wether or not debugging information should be displayed in the console (Default: false)

• loginEmail - A string containing the email address asssociated with the StackOverflow account that you would like to log in to.

• loginPassword - A string containing the password for the StackOverflow account that you would like to log in to.

• puppeteerOpts - An object containing any options you wish to pass to the puppeteer.launch() function. (Sets the user agent to Google Chrome and the user data directory to ./userData by default)

• site - A string containing the URL for the Stack Exchange site that you would like to pull badge info from. Should include the protocol at the beginning and no trailing slash. (Default: https://stackoverflow.com)

Visits your StackOverflow profile page and returns a promise that resolves with information about your tracked badge.

Note: The login function will automatically be ran if loginEmail and loginPassword are passed as options and you are not currently logged in.

const stackFanatic = require('stack-fanatic')

stackFanatic
  .check({
    loginEmail: '[email protected]',
    loginPassword: 'password1234',
    site: 'https://stackoverflow.com'
  })
  .then(res => {
    console.log('Badge Name:', res.badge)
    console.log('Badge Type:', res.type)
    console.log('Current Progress:', res.now)
    console.log('Percent Completed:', res.percent)
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log(err.message)
  })

{
  badge: 'Fanatic',
  max: 100,
  min: 0,
  now: 20,
  percent: 20,
  profile: 'https://stackoverflow.com/users/5463842/kodie-grantham',
  type: 'Gold'
}

Logs into a StackOverflow account and returns a promise that resolves with true or false depending on if the login was successful or not.

Note: After you are logged in, your session info will be saved in ./userData so that you can run the check function without having to log in again.

const stackFanatic = require('stack-fanatic')

stackFanatic
  .login({
    loginEmail: '[email protected]',
    loginPassword: 'password1234'
  })
  .then(loggedIn => {
    if (loggedIn) {
      console.log('Yay! You are logged in! :D')
    } else {
      console.log('Aw dang! You are not logged in. :(')
    }
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log(err.message)
  })

Just set site to the URL of your Stack Overflow profile and make sure that you have ?tab=topactivity at the end of it.

While you're at it, set Puppeteer's userDataDir option to false so that no session data or cache is saved.

stackFanatic
  .check({
    site: 'https://stackoverflow.com/users/5463842/kodie-grantham?tab=topactivity',
    puppeteerOpts: {
      userDataDir: false
    }
  })
