parse the nba_py docs into an array of endpoint descriptions that can be used to dynamically construct an API client

parse-docs.js

// targets this file: https://github.com/seemethere/nba_py/wiki/stats.nba.com-Endpoint-Documentation

var fs = require("fs");
var markdown = fs.readFileSync("./stats.nba.com-Endpoint-Documentation.md", "utf8");

function createDescription (block) {
  var name = block[0].slice(3, -1);
  var params = block.slice(2).map(line => line.slice(4)).filter(Boolean);
  return {name, params};
}

var endpoints = markdown
  .split("\n\n")
  .map(block => block.split("\n"))
  .filter(block => block[0].startsWith("##"))
  .map(createDescription);

// do something with endpoints...
