[TS] Page.content() has incorrect return type
Page.content()
is set to return a promise of a string, however this is not always the case. Sometimes (more often than not it seems) it returns a promise for an array of page sections.
wiki().page('January_12').then(p => p.content()).then(async res => {
console.log(res);
});
[
{
title: 'Events',
content: '',
items: [ [Object], [Object], [Object] ]
},
{
title: 'Births',
content: '',
items: [ [Object], [Object], [Object] ]
},
{
title: 'Deaths',
content: '',
items: [ [Object], [Object], [Object] ]
},
{
title: 'Holidays and observances',
content: 'Christian feast day:\n' +
'Aelred of Rievaulx\n' +
'Benedict Biscop\n' +
'Bernard of Corleone\n' +
'Marguerite Bourgeoys\n' +
'Tatiana\n' +
'January 12 (Eastern Orthodox liturgics)\n' +
'Memorial Day (Turkmenistan)\n' +
'National Youth Day (India)\n' +
"Prosecutor General's Day (Russia)\n" +
'Zanzibar Revolution Day (Tanzania)\n' +
'Aseggwas Amaziɣ, ⴰⵙⴳⴳⴰⵙ ⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖ (Algeria)'
},
{ title: 'References', content: '' },
{
title: 'External links',
content: 'BBC: On This Day\n' +
'\n' +
'The New York Times: On This DayHistorical Events on January 12\n' +
'Today in Canadian History'
}

Thanks for the example. I will look info this.
After looking at this again, the function seems to be doing exactly as described in the docs: https://dijs.github.io/wiki/WikiPage.html#content
It parses the extracted content from sections on the page.
If you would like to transform the results into a string , i am sure that would not be difficult.
The method acts as it should, however its return type is incorrect. It's said to return a string while it actually returns an array.
(method) Page.content(): Promise<string>
Text content from page
@returns
@memberof — Page
