# Anilist-RandExt

Since I'm indecisive on what anime to watch, I decided to solve the problem by making a 

chrome extension to randomly select anime for me.

This isn't super complex because I just wanted a practical introduction to developing browser extensions.

The extension icon is the kanji for gambling 賭 .

## Extension Behavior

By default, navigating to any url prefixed with https://anilist.co/user/username/ and clicking the extension will open a new tab with a

random anime from your 'planning' list.

If you wish to use a specific list, click on the list you want and then click the extension.

Example:  Clicking on 'completed' list (navigates to https://anilist.co/user/username/animelist/Completed) and clicking the extension

retrieves a random entry from your 'completed' list.

The way I coded th extension also allows you to select random entries from other public users' lists if you navigate to their profile.

## GraphQL Queries

Get user by username 

```javascript

{

  User(search: "${username}"){

    id name

  }

}

```

Get anime list by userId and status 

```javascript

{

  MediaListCollection(userId: ${id}, type: ANIME, status: ${status}){

    lists{

      entries{

        mediaId

      }

    }

  }

}

```
