node-dota2

A node-steam plugin for Dota 2, consider it in alpha state.

Check out my blog post (my only blog post), Extending node-dota2, for a rough overview of adding new functionality to the library.

Upgrade guide

`<= 0.7.*` to `1.0.0`

A few backwards incompatible API changes were included with version 1.0.0.

The following methods were renamed:

Old method name	New method name
getPlayerMatchHistory	requestPlayerMatchHistory
profileRequest	requestProfile
passportDataRequest	requestPassportData
hallOfFameRequest	requestHallOfFame
leaguesInMonthRequest	requestLeaguesInMonth
practiceLobbyListRequest	requestPracticeLobbyList
friendPracticeLobbyListRequest	requestFriendPracticeLobbyList
matchDetailsRequest	requestMatchDetails
matchmakingStatsRequest	requestMatchmakingStats
findSourceTVGames	requestSourceTVGames

And the following events were renamed:

Old event name	New event name
chatChannelsReceived	chatChannelsData
guildInvite	guildInviteData
leaguesInMonthResponse	leaguesInMonthData
leagueInfo	leagueData
practiceLobbyListResponse	practiceLobbyListData
friendPracticeLobbyListResponse	friendPracticeLobbyListData
matches	matchesData
matchData	matchDetailsData

Finally we migrated to the 1.x.y version of node-steam. This caused all proto messages to become snake_cased instead of camelCased. As a consequence, many tags in responses and events have changed.

Initializing

Parameters:

steamClient - Pass a SteamClient instance to use to send & receive GC messages.
debug - A boolean noting whether to print information about operations to console.

var Steam = require('steam'),
    steamClient = new Steam.SteamClient(),
    dota2 = require('dota2'),
    Dota2 = new dota2.Dota2Client(steamClient, true);

##Properties ###AccountID The current steam ID of the SteamClient converted to Dota 2 Account ID format. Not available until launch is called.

###Lobby The current lobby object (see CSODOTALobby). Null if the bot is not in a lobby.

###Party The current party object (see CSODOTAParty). Null if the bot is not in a party.

###PartyInvite The current party invite object (see CSODOTAPartyInvite). Null if the bot does not have an active incoming party invite.

All methods require the SteamClient instance to be logged on.

Events

`ready`

Here are the groups at the time of this sentence being written (with unecessary data trimmed out):

    "USWest":               {"matchgroup": "0"},
    "USEast":               {"matchgroup": "1"},
    "Europe":               {"matchgroup": "2"},

    "PerfectWorldUnicom":   {"matchgroup": "12"}

`practiceLobbyUpdate` (`lobby`)

lobby - The full lobby object (see CSODOTALobby).

Emitted when the GC sends a lobby snapshot. The GC is incredibly inefficient and will send the entire object even if it's a minor update.

Note that the Lobby property will be the old value until after this event completes to allow comparison between the two.

`practiceLobbyJoinResponse`(`result`, `practiceLobbyJoinResponse`)

result - The result object from practiceLobbyJoinResponse.
practiceLobbyJoinResponse - The raw response object.

Emitted when the GC responds to joinPracticeLobby method.

`practiceLobbyCleared` ()

Emitted when leaving a lobby (aka, the lobby is cleared). This can happen when kicked, upon leaving a lobby, etc. There are other callbacks to tell when the bot has been kicked.

`practiceLobbyResponse` (`result`, `practiceLobbyResponse`)

result - The result object from practiceLobbyJoinResponse.
practiceLobbyResponse - The raw response object.

Emitted when an operation changing the state of a lobby was sent to the GC and processed. This event only contains the acknowledgement by the GC. The actual update of the lobby state is communicated via practiceLobbyUpdate events.

`friendPracticeLobbyListData` ()

TODO

`inviteCreated` (`steam_id`, `group_id`, `is_online`)

steam_id - The steam ID of the person the invite was sent to
group_id - The group ID of the person the invite was sent to
is_online - Whether or not the person the invite was sent to is online

Emitted when the GC has created the invitation. The invitation is only sent when the invitee is online.

`partyUpdate` (`party`)

party - The full party object (see CSODOTAParty).

Emitted when the GC sends a party snapshot. The GC is incredibly inefficient and will send the entire object even if it's a minor update. You can use this to detect when a party has been entered / created successfully as well. Note that the Party property will be the old value until after this event completes to allow comparison between the two.

`partyCleared` ()

Emitted when leaving a party (aka, the party is cleared). This can happen when kicked, upon leaving a party, etc. There are other callbacks to tell when the bot has been kicked.

`partyInviteUpdate` (`party`)

partyInvite - The full party invite object (see CSODOTAPartyInvite).

Emitted when the GC sends a party invite snapshot. The GC is incredibly inefficient and will send the entire object even if it's a minor update. You can use this to detect when an incoming party invite has been sent. Note that the PartyInvite property will be the old value until after this event completes to allow comparison between the two.

`partyInviteCleared` ()

Emitted when the Party Invite is cleared, for example when accepting/rejecting it or when the party is closed.

`liveLeagueGamesUpdate` (`null`, `liveLeaguesResponse`)

null - nothing
liveLeaguesResponse - Integer representing number of live league games.

`leaguesInMonthData` (`result`, `leaguesInMonthData`)

result - The result object from leaguesInMonthData.
leaguesInMonthData - The raw response object.

Emitted when the GC responds to requestLeaguesInMonth method.

Notes:

The month property is used to filter the data to the leagues which have matches scheduled in the given month, however the schedule object contains schedules for a league's entire duration - i.e. before or after month.
month is also zero-aligned, so January = 0, Febuary = 1, March = 2, etc.
Not every participating team seems to be hooked up to Dota 2's team system, so there will be a few { teamId: 0 } objects for some schedule blocks.

The response object is visualized as follows:

{
    eresult,            // EResult enum
    month,              // Int representing which month this data represents.
    leagues: [{         // An array of CMsgLeague objects
        leagueId,       // ID of the league associated
        schedule: [{    // An array of CMsgLeagueScheduleBlock objects
            blockId,    // ID represending this block
            startTime,  // Unix timestamp of a scheduled match (or group of matches)
            finals,     // Boolean represending if this match is a final.
            comment,    // Comment about this scheduled block - often the team names & position in bracket
            teams: [{   // An array of CMsgLeagueScheduleBlockTeamInfo objects
                teamId, // ID of the associated team
                name,   // The teams name
                tag,    // The teams tag
                logo    // The teams logo
            }]
        }]
    }]

Testing

We have a suite of Mocha tests for node-dota2. Coverage isn't at 100% yet, but all of the core logic should be covered. Run npm test to run these test suites, passing in account credentials via environmental variables (e.g. STEAM_USERNAME="bob" STEAM_PASSWORD="notbob" npm test). We also have TravisCI integration that will run the tests on any pull-requests opened up.

Setting up

npm install steam; npm install in the repository root (install Steam first to work around a node-steam#222)
Copy config.js.example to config.js and edit appropriately
Run the test script: node test.js
If you receive Error 63 you need to provide a Steam Guard code by setting the Steam Guard code in config.js and launching again.
Make sure to use at least version 0.12 of node js
