Exposes a simple API for interacting with the Dota 2 game coordinator
npm install dota2-user
This module aims to provides a flexible TypeScript/Node.js interface for interacting with the Dota 2 Game Coordinator.
It utilises a node-steam-user SteamUser instance for Steam communication.
To use node-dota2-user, please ensure you have node-steam-user v4.2.0 or later and Node.js v14 or later installed.
I initially wrote this module cause I wanted to get data from the Dota 2 GC with Node.js, but had no way of doing so without node-dota2 which is deprecated.
As of now, this module fulfills my use-cases and the use-case of communicating with the game coordinator. It can likely do what you need.
I'm unlikely to implement additional features in the short term as I don't have a need for them.
In addition, this module does not need frequent updates due to its small dependency pool.
That said, I welcome any feedback, suggestions, issues, or pull requests from the community.
A board with some ideas for future features is available here:
Please consider this in alpha state, similar to node-dota2.
If you're willing to use Go, I'd suggest checking out paralin/go-dota2, a more feature-rich package.
