Quick Usage

import { getGames, getGameInfo } from "openfrontio-api-client";

const now = new Date();
const yesterday = new Date(now - 86400000).toISOString();

const games = await getGames({
  start: yesterday,
  end: now.toISOString(),
});

Supported Methods

• getClanLeaderboard
• getClanSessions
• getClanStats
• getGameInfo
• getGames
• getPlayerInfo
• getPlayerSessions

Key Features

• Pagination Normalization: Automatically parses and normalizes pagination headers, making it easier to traverse large datasets.
• TypeScript Support: Includes comprehensive type definitions that wrap the official game types, ensuring type safety and autocompletion.
• BigInt Support: Optional support for BigInt to safely handle large numeric identifiers without precision loss.

TypeScript Integration

The library exposes TypeScript typings for all API responses. These types directly wrap the official game types, adjusting for optional properties where necessary to match the actual API behavior.

BigInt Support

OpenFront API responses often contain large integer identifiers. By default, these are serialized as strings in JSON to prevent JavaScript number precision loss (IEEE 754).

This library offers optional BigInt support, allowing you to work with these identifiers as native BigInt primitives for mathematical operations or comparisons, rather than managing them as strings.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please ensure you have Node.js and npm installed before starting.

Development Setup

Clone the repository and install the dependencies:

git clone github.com/Tidwell/openfrontio-api-client
cd openfrontio-api-client
npm install

Development Scripts

The following scripts are available in package.json to assist with development, building, and testing.

Building the Library

To build the package for production (transpiling TypeScript and bundling):

npm run build

This uses pkgroll to output the build artifacts to the dist/ directory.

Testing

This project uses Vitest for testing.

Unit Tests

To run the standard unit test suite:

npm test

End-to-End (E2E) Tests

To run the end-to-end tests using the specific E2E configuration:

npm run test:e2e

Updating E2E Snapshots/Responses

If the API behavior changes or you need to record new responses for the E2E tests, use the write command:

npm run test:e2e:write

This sets the WRITE_API_RESPONSES environment variable to true during the test run.

Formatting

To format the codebase using Prettier:

npm run format

Documentation

To generate the API documentation using TypeDoc:

npm run docs
