buildcopier

What is it ?

buildcopier is a TypeScript library which translates online League of Legends builds into clipboard imports. This is the successor and upgraded version of its Python equivalent itemsetcopier which I do not support anymore.

The online build websites currently supported by buildcopier are MOBAfire, Mobalytics and OP.GG.

How to use it

First you must import and create an instance of BuildCopier :

import { BuildCopier } from "buildcopier";

// You can instantiate one by providing it the
// League of Legends version it should use

const bc = new BuildCopier("11.4.1");

// ... or by providing it a DDragon instance

import { DDragon } from "ddragon";

const ddragon = new DDragon("11.4.1");
const bc = new BuildCopier(ddragon);

You can also use the DDragon.getLatestVersion asynchronous function to fetch the latest version of the game.

When you have your BuildCopier instance, you can simply use the translating methods it provides. For example let's translate a MOBAfire build :

import { BuildCopier } from "buildcopier";

const bc = new BuildCopier("11.4.1");

// the name for the item set
const setName = "Graves Jungle S11";

// the URL of the MOBAfire guide
const url = "https://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/season-11-kami-challenger-graves-jungle-guide-530114";

// the index of the build we want (an invalid index will result in it being set to 0)
const buildIndex = 0;

bc.translateMobafire(setName, url, buildIndex).then((result) =>
{
    // we can now copy and paste the generated
    // clipboard import in League of Legends
    console.log(result);
}).catch((error) =>
{
    console.error("An error has occured: " + error);
});

Each translating method may have different parameters which are documented.

Dependencies

buildcopier uses superagent to make its HTTP requests, node-html-parser to parse HTML pages and he to decode HTML entities.

A test suite for DDragon is available under tests which is made using jest.

Web Application

buildcopier has been implemented as a web application on my website which you can use here !
