tbav3

Node.js wrapper for The Blue Alliance api.

Another one?!

This API was inspired by frc7308's bluealliance bindings, and uses many of their concepts and naming conventions, but as I looked through their code, I decided that I needed a rewrite based more on node.js, using built-in libraries (namely https rather than 3rd-party XMLHttpRequest), removing class-like function calls (ex:)

var team;
tba.getTeam(4418).then((team) => {
	tba.getEventsForTeam(team).then((events) => {
		doSomething(events);
	});
});

(translates to java as:)

new EventsForTeam(new Team(4418));

which makes it much simpler for someone with background in java to pick it up. You should definitely check theirs out though, if you are more java-minded and want things to work like your robot code with less of a learning curve. This api attempts to rewrite the one from frc7308 to conform to Node.js coding practices.
