Output format doesn't seem to work

[oskarrough]

Hi, I'm trying to use the setConfig method to set the output format but it always returns the "Discogs" format.

const Discogs = require('disconnect').Client
const client = new Discogs().setConfig({outputFormat: 'html'})
const db = client.database()

// Route that fetches the profile of 'Michael Jackson' artist.
// Hopefully it'll be in HTML.
app.get('/', async (req, res) => {
  const data = await db.getArtist('15885')
  res.json(data.profile)
})

Am I doing it wrong? Here's a test case:

• https://rhinestone-wax.glitch.me/
• https://glitch.com/edit/#!/rhinestone-wax?path=server.js:15:30

Hmm, disconnect does seem to provide the correct header according to https://www.discogs.com/developers/#page:home,header:home-versioning-and-media-types I will have to try without the additional accept headers I provide for plain json and images. Not much time to work on bug unfortunately, so pull requests are welcome!

Sure!

I tried without the additional headers but I can't get it to return anything but discogs/bbcode. I wonder if it works at all from the Discogs API or if I'm using the correct syntax?

Failed attempt to get a plain text profile field:

curl -s --header "Accept: application/vnd.discogs.v2.plaintext+json" https://api.discogs.com/artists/15885

I found help in the Discogs forum! It turns out that profile field is discogscode no matter the chosen format. Instead you get a new field: profile_html or profile_plaintext respectively.

Hi @bartve, I added a pull request to try and clarify how this works and close this out. What do you think?
