# `node-famousbirthdays`

### How to use
```js
const famousBirthdays = require("famousbirthdays");
famousBirthdays(new Date()) // Default is just new Date(). (aka today)
.then(result=>{
///etc
})
```
### Response
Will be an array of objects consisting of `name`, `age`, `occuptation`, and a `link` to their page. The array is limited to a length of 15. If the person is no longer alive, `age` will simply be `undefined` (oof).
