Arcon constructor properties

import { Arcon } from 'arcon.js';

const connection = new Arcon({
  ip: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 2312,
  password: '12345'
});

connection.connect();

Events

Being an event-based library, there are multiple events that you can subscribe to. A list of all events can be found here. Note that if you do not add a listener to the error event, your application will crash if an error is ever created.

import { Arcon, Player, BeLog } from 'arcon.js';

const connection = new Arcon({
  ip: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 2312,
  password: '12345'
});

connection.on('connected', () => {
  console.log('Connected!');
});

connection.on('disconnected', () => {
  console.log('Disconnected!');
});

connection.on('error', (error: Error) => {
  console.error(error);
});

connection.on('players', (players: Player[]) => {
  console.log(players);
});

connection.on('playerConnected', (player: Player) => {
  console.log(player);
});

connection.on('playerDisconnected', (player: Player, reason: string) => {
  // If a player disconnects by themself, reason is "disconnected".
  // Otherwise it will be parsed from text.
  console.log(player, reason);
});

connection.on(
  'playerUpdated',
  (player: Player, [pingUpdate, verifiedUpdate, lobbyUpdate]: [boolean, boolean, boolean]) => {
    if (pingUpdate) console.log(player.ping);
  }
);

connection.on('beLog', (log: BeLog) => {
  console.log(log);
});

connection.on('playerMessage', (player: Player, channel: string, message: string) => {
  console.log(`(${channel}) ${player.name}: ${message}`);
});

connection.on('adminMessage', (id: number, channel: string, message: string) => {
  console.log(id, channel, message);
});

connection.connect();
