bw-casclib

Node bindings for CascLib

Note this is a fork to support the latest version of CascLib as node-casclib has been abandoned. Only StarCraft is supported.

Installation

bw-casclib has been tested on Windows and Linux. To install using npm

npm install bw-casclib

or with yarn

yarn add bw-casclib

Usage

Reading a file synchronously.

import * as casclib from 'casclib'

const storageHandle = casclib.openStorageSync("path/to/game/directory")

const fileData = casclib.readFile("path/to/casc/file")

casclib.closeStorage(storageHandle)

Read a file asynchronously with promises.

import * as casclib from 'casclib'

casclib.openStorage("path/to/game/directory")
  .then(storageHandle => {
    return casclib.readfile("path/to/casc/file")
      .then(fileData => {
        // do things with file data

        casclibe.closeStorage(storageHandle)
      })
  })

Read a file asynchronously with callbacks.

import * as casclib from 'casclib'

casclib.openStorage("path/to/game/directory", (error, storageHandle) => {
  if(error) {
    // handle error
  }

  casclib.readFile("path/to/casc/file", (error, fileData) => {
    if(error) {
      // handle error
    }

    // do things with file data

    casclib.closeStorage(storageHandle)
  })
})
