postLit.js

postLit.js is a simple module that allows you to easily interact with postLit, the social media website. It uses the API as it should be used, and is reliable.

How to Use

Here's the different functions that you can use to fetch data and interact with the site.

Getting started

Start by simply importing the module so that you can use it.

const { postLitClient } = require("postlit.js")

Using the Websocket

We've added a websocket to make postLit.js simpler to use.

postLitClient.on("ready", function(user) {
    console.log(user) // the user that is logged in
})

postLitClient.on("messageCreate", function(message) {
    console.log(message) // a notification or message
})

You can then use postLit whenever you're interacting with the postLit API.

postLitClient.login(username, password)
