Should I Watch This?

   

I watch a lot of movies. This is exactly what I was looking for.

This is a tool to ask the internet if it's worth watching a movie or show.

There are 3 versions to this:

CLI  ·  web application  ·  openfaas function

1. CLI

2. Web application at should-i-watch-this.com

3. OpenFaaS function

# basic example
curl -H 'X-Auth-Token: <your omdb token>' \
    https://faasd.koffeinfrei.org/function/should-i-watch-this \
    -d "the terminator"

# example with parameters
curl -H 'X-Auth-Token: <your omdb token>' \
    https://faasd.koffeinfrei.org/function/should-i-watch-this?show_links=true\&year=1984 \
    -d "the terminator"

# example with json response
curl -H 'X-Auth-Token: <your omdb token>' \

Versioning

Semantic Versioning is used, obviously.

There's a script that bumps the version in all necessary files and creates a git tag.

# bump the major version, e.g. from 1.2.0 to 2.0.0
$ scripts/version bump:major

# bump the minor version, e.g. from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0
$ scripts/version bump:minor

# bump the patch version, e.g. from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1
$ scripts/version bump:patch
