PadoruLib

C# Library for retrieving images from my Padoru collection
The JSON Format is described here.

What is this?

This is a small & simple library to make it easier to work with my padoru-padoru repo.

What is Padoru?

A Meme in the Anime- Community. See here.

Why?

• Because its almost Padoru- Time :P
• I was bored
• I couldn't find a (good) collection of padoru images

How To Use

• Add the Library to your Project.
• Create a instance of the PadoruClient
• Initialize the Padoru Collection using PadoruClient.LoadCollection()
• Get Padoru Entries using GetEntries(), GetRandomEntry(), and GetEntriesWhen()
• Download the Image using PadoruEntry.GetImage()

...Or As Example Code

static async Task PadoruExample()
{
    //create client
    PadoruClient padoru = new PadoruClient();

    //load a padoru collection
    await padoru.LoadCollection(COLLECTION_URL);

    //create a variable to hold the desired padoru entry
    PadoruEntry myPadoru;

    //get a random padoru
    myPadoru = await padoru.GetRandomEntry();

    //get the first padoru in the collection
    myPadoru = (await padoru.GetEntries()).First();

    //get the first male padoru in the collection
    myPadoru = (await padoru.GetEntriesWhere((p) => !p.IsFemale)).First();

    //download the padoru image data
    byte[] padoruData = await myPadoru.GetImageData();

    //create image from the loaded data
    Image padoruImg;
    using (MemoryStream padoruDataStream = new MemoryStream(padoruData))
    {
        padoruImg = Image.FromStream(padoruDataStream);
    }

    //save the image
    padoruImg?.Save("./random-padoru.png");

    //dispose loaded image
    padoruImg?.Dispose();
}
