CRCON JavaScript API Module

This repository contains a JavaScript module for interacting with the Hell Let Loose Community RCON tool (CRCON) API. The module provides a comprehensive and fully functional interface for all CRCON API endpoints, enabling developers to build their own web interfaces, bots, and other applications using NodeJS.

What's New in Version 2.0

• Debug Option: Added a debug flag to the request method, allowing users to retrieve the full API response (including metadata) instead of just the result field.
• HTTP Method Selection: Explicitly specify HTTP methods (e.g., GET, POST) when necessary for endpoints that support multiple methods.
• Improved Error Handling: Handles inconsistent API responses gracefully, including fallback parsing for plain text responses.
• Compatibility: Fully compatible with CRCON API v11.
• Extensive Testing: Most endpoints have been thoroughly tested to ensure reliability and accuracy.

Features

• Comprehensive API Coverage: All endpoints of the CRCON API are included, allowing for full interaction with the Hell Let Loose server.
• Promise-Based: Utilizes JavaScript promises for asynchronous operations, ensuring a smooth and efficient user experience.
• Token Authentication: Supports bearer token authentication for secure API calls.
• Fallback Handling: Gracefully handles inconsistent API responses, including plain text and malformed responses.

Getting Started

Installation

To install the module, clone this repository and install the necessary dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/crcon-js-module.git
cd crcon-js-module
npm install

Alternatively, you can add it to your NodeJS project using npm:

npm install --save crcon.js

Usage

First, import the API class and initialize it with your CRCON API base URL:

const API = require('crcon.js');

const config = {
  token: 'your-api-token-here'
};

const api = new API('https://your-crcon-url.com/api/', config);

Example: Basic Usage

Fetching Players

api.get_players()
  .then(data => {
    console.log('List of players:', data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error fetching players:', error);
  });

Fetching Historical Logs with Debug Mode

api.get_historical_logs({
  player_id: '12345',
  limit: 50
}, "GET", true) // Enable debug mode
  .then(response => {
    console.log('Full response:', response);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error fetching historical logs:', error);
  });

Using POST for Endpoints with Multiple HTTP Methods

api.add_blacklist_record({
  player_id: '67890',
  blacklist_id: 123,
  reason: 'Breaking rules'
}, "POST")
  .then(result => {
    console.log('Blacklist record added:', result);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error adding blacklist record:', error);
  });

Error Handling

HTTP Errors

If the API returns an HTTP error (e.g., 400 Bad Request), the module throws an error with details including the status code and response message:

Error: HTTP error! status: 400 (Bad Request)

API Errors

If the API response includes failed: true, the error message from the API is included in the thrown error:

Error: No blacklist found with ID 123

Debug Mode

When debug is enabled, the full API response is returned:

{
  "result": null,
  "command": "add_blacklist_record",
  "arguments": {
    "player_id": "12345",
    "blacklist_id": 123,
    "reason": "Testing"
  },
  "failed": true,
  "error": "No blacklist found with ID 123",
  "version": "v11.0.0"
}
