Hello!
I'd like to introduce a project that I've been working on for a while:
https://github.com/Fannon/mwbot
MWBotis a Node.js module for interacting with the MediaWiki API. The library makes use of the Promise Pattern and behind the scene, the request library.
The design goal is to be as flexible as possible, with the ability to overwrite options and behaviour at any point. The library also lets you freely choose the abstraction/convenience level on which you want to work. You can use convenience functions that bundles (with concurrency) of multiple API requests into one function, but you can also handcraft your own MediaWiki API and pure HTTP requests.
The library has extensive test coverage and is written in modern ECMAScript 2015. Maybe it is useful to some people.
Have a nice day! Simon
You may want to add to the list https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_code , maybe with a short sentence explaining its features compared to the alternatives.

Hello Nemo,
thanks for the hint!
Best, Simon

Thank you Simon! I am interested in knowing more about your motivation to work on this project. What itch are you willing to scratch, or is this part of a professional project? What use are you making of this library, and could you provide examples of other possible uses?
I am sure I am not the only one interested. :)

Hello!
yes, I'm using this for a professional project. I've been using the nodemw library before, but it failed me in some instances and didn't have an error and concurrency to my liking. So I decided to write my own library and base it on the promise pattern from ground up. I also like to keep my flexibility, so I prefer to have abstractions layered and completely optional. I also chose too stay closer to the bare bone of the MediaWiki API to reduce breaking incompatibilites in the future.
Some of those decisions are of course subjective! Feel free to like them or not ;)
Currently I'm using the library for typical bot uses like auto-generating MediaWiki content, data-importing and various little, modular CLI utilities.
Best, Simon
