Use the createAuthenticationUrl function to generate a URL for redirecting users to Steam for authentication.
``ts
import { createAuthenticationUrl } from 'steam-authentication'
const realm = 'https://example.com'
const returnPath = '/steam/callback'
const url = createAuthenticationUrl(realm, returnPath)
console.log(url.toString()) // "https://steamcommunity.com/openid/login?..."
`
Use the validateCallbackUrl function to validate the callback URL received from Steam and extract the Steam ID.
`ts
import { validateCallbackUrl } from 'steam-authentication'
const responseUrl = 'https://example.com/steam/callback?openid.ns=...'
const realm = 'https://example.com'
const returnPath = '/steam/callback'
validateCallbackUrl(responseUrl, realm, returnPath)
.then((steamId) => {
console.log(steamId) // "76561197960287930"
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error('Validation failed:', error)
})
`
To build the project, run the following command:
npm run build`
This will generate both CommonJS and ESM modules in the dist directory.
