steam-categories
Super basic Node.js library to help with modifying the new Steam categories
npm i steam-categories
Notes:
- Launching Steam while the database is still in use will cause Steam to delete it. So use
close()when you're done. read()will throw an exception if you try to access the database whilst Steam is open.
Make sure to catch it or useisClosed()/isOpen()
Usage:
const SteamCat = require('steam-categories');
const path = require('path');
// %LOCALAPPDATA%/Steam/htmlcache/Local Storage/leveldb
const levelDBPath = path.join(process.env['localappdata'], 'Steam', 'htmlcache', 'Local Storage', 'leveldb');
// Supply leveldb path and Steam3 ID of user whose collections to edit
const cats = new SteamCat(levelDBPath, '88089999');
// Read user collections
cats.read().then((collections) => {
// Get collection "test"
const testCollection = cats.get('test');
console.info(testCollection);
/*
{
key: 'user-collections.test',
timestamp: 1573477978,
value: {
id: 'test',
name: 'Test Collection',
added: []
}
}
*/
// Add DOOM to "test" collection
testCollection.value.added.push(379720);
// Change the name
testCollection.value.name = '👀';
// Create a new collection with Counter-Strike, DOOM, and Half-Life 2
cats.add('someUniqueKey', {
name: 'Super Cool Collection',
added: [10, 220, 379720]
});
// Save collections
cats.save().then(() => {
console.info('yay!');
// Close the database when you're done
cats.close().then(() => {
console.info('Database closed, safe to open Steam again.');
});
});
}).catch((err) => {
// Error reading database (most likely locked)
console.error(err.message);
});
