TV Cross Over

Find actors in two TV Shows

A Node module that finds actors that play in a set of TV shows. Works as Node module and CLI command.

Installing

$ npm install --global tvco

Usage

As command-line app, it takes two arguments

$ tvco 'game of thrones' 'the wire'
Aidan Gillen:
  Plays Petyr Baelish in Game of Thrones
  Plays Councilman Thomas "Tommy" Carcetti in The Wire

As Node module, a promise is returned with an object containing more details about the TV shows and a list of matched actors and their roles.

const tvco = require('tvco');
 
tvco('game of thrones', 'the wire')
.then((data)  => {
  data.matches.forEach((match) => {
    console.log((`${match.actor.name}:`));
    match.roles.forEach((role) => {
      console.log((`  Plays ${role.name} in ${role.show}`));
    });
  });
})
