actor-stats is a javascript node program that give us some statistics about actor and films from a dataset. The dataset is a json file that contains a list of films (from 1915 to 2017) and the actors that played in it. Other informations are also available like the genre, the profit, the rating, etc.
For development, you will only need Node.js and a node global package, such as Yarn, installed in your environement.
$ git clone https://github.com/Karamouche/actor-stats
$ cd actor-stats
$ yarn install
$ yarn run main
$ yarn run dev
The project provides the following features to analyse the data:
- sortByProfit: Sorts the movies by their profit (revenue minus budget) in descending order.
- sortByPopularity: Sorts the movies by their popularity (as measured by an arbitrary score) in descending order.
- sortByBudget: Sorts the movies by their budget in descending order.
- sortByYear: Sorts the movies by their year of release in ascending order.
- filterYear: Filters the movies by a given year interval.
- getMostPresentActor: Returns the actors with the most appearances in movies within a given year interval.
- getMoviesFromActor: Returns a list of movies in which a given actor appears.
- getMostBankableActors: Returns the actors with the highest average profit across all the movies in which they appeared within a given year interval.
Log the 10 most present actors in movies released between 1995 and 2000:
logMostPresentActors(10, [1995, 2000]);Log the 10 most bankable actors in movies released between 1980 and 2000:
logMostBankableActors(10, [1980, 2000]);Log all movies in which Tom Hanks appears, released between 1980 and 2000, sorted by year of release:
const moviesTomHanks = R.pipe(
getMoviesFromActor("Tom Hanks"),
filterYear([1980, 2000]),
sortByYear,
formatMovieInformation
)(moviesData);
console.log(moviesTomHanks.join("\n"));The dataset used was provided by Kaggle.
