Greet By Time

Greet By Time is a simple greeting generator which displays a unique, randomized greeting to the user based on the time of day.

Installation

$ npm i greet-by-time

Usage

To use it, simply require it as any other npm module.

const greet = require("greet-by-time");

Here's an example of how to greet a user in an app, passing the user's name as the first parameter and the hour in the second parameter.

const hour = new Date().getHours();

console.log(greet("Jill", hour));

// Output: Wakey, wakey, Jill!

To customize the greetings, you just need to add a line like below. There are three categories of greetings: morning, day and evening.

greet.morningGreetings = ["Hola", "Buenos dias"];
greet.dayGreetings = ["Hola", "Buenos dias"];
greet.eveningGreetings = ["Hola", "Buenos dias"];

Time Definitions

Time is based on a 24 hour clock. Below are the times I've set as morning, day and evening. I will add functionality later so these times can be customized.

• Mornings hours are between 4:00 and 12:00

• Day hours are between 12:00 and 18:00

• Evening hours are between 18:00 and 4:00

Greetings

Below are the default greetings, which can be customized as shown above.

{
  "morning": [
    "Good morning",
    "Wakey, wakey",
    "Guten Morgen",
    "Rise and shine",
    "Morning",
    "Top of the morning to you",
    "Have a great day",
    "Look alive"
  ],

  "day": [
    "Hiya",
    "Hi",
    "Guten Tag",
    "Good afternoon",
    "Howdy",
    "Buenos dias",
    "G'day",
    "Hello there"
  ],

  "evening": [
    "Good evening",
    "Nice to see you",
    "Hellooooo",
    "Konbanwa",
    "Enjoy the rest of your evening",
    "Fancy seeing you here",
    "Hi there",
    "It's late. Time to rest"
  ]
}
