N|Steam ID

ID is a module to make SteamID usage and conversion easy using Typescript.

Heavily inspired by node-steamid

(<= v1.0.0 can be used as a drop-in replacement)

Overview

A SteamID is made up of four parts: it's Universe, it's Type, it's Instance, and it's Account ID.

• Universe: Currently, there are 5 universes. A universe is a unique instance of Steam. You'll probably only be interacting with the public universe, which is the regular Steam. Only Valve employees can access non-public universes.

  We provide a enum for all available universes

• Type: A SteamID's type determines what it identifies. The most common type is INDIVIDUAL, for user accounts. There are also other types such as CLAN (Steam groups), GAMESERVER, and more.

  We provide a enum for all available types

• Instance: The instance ID isn't usually used.

  We provide a enum for all available instances

• Account ID: This represents a unique account of the persona

Installation

You can install ID through the command line by using the following command:

yarn add @node-steam/id

Usage:

import * as SteamID from '@node-steam/id';

// or

import {
    fromAccountID,
    ID,
    Instance,
    Type,
    Universe,
} from '@node-steam/id';

Creation

You can create a SteamID object from a SteamID2, a SteamID3, a SteamID64, a Account ID or from the four parts that make up a SteamID:

SteamID2

const id = new ID('STEAM_0:0:11101');

SteamID3

const id = new ID('[U:1:22202]');

SteamID64

const id = new ID('76561197960287930');

Parts

const id     = new ID();
id.universe  = Universe.PUBLIC;
id.type      = Type.INDIVIDUAL;
id.instance  = Instance.DESKTOP;
id.accountid = 22202;

AccountID

const id = fromAccountID(22202);

Differences from node-steamid

• ES6 // Typescript syntax
• Typescript definitions
• cuint definitions
• More getters
• Modern ES6 tests

(Basically there is no real need to switch - the definitions were just needed for other related projects)

It is currently backward-compatible // works as drop-in replacement but the compatibility code will be removed in future versions!
