Installation

I recommend using yarn instead of npm, because it's (a lot) faster.

yarn add node-factorio-api (or npm install node-factorio-api)

Usage

// There are multiple classes now
import {Profile, FactorioAPI, Progress, Mod} from "./node-factorio-api";

// You can now (finally) get the progress. Just subscribe and it will trigger the callback every time something changes. 
// It gives you an array of tasks that are currently running.
Progress.subscribe(tasks => {
    tasks.map(task => console.log(`${task.name}: ${task.progress}`));
    console.log("\n");
});

// I present to you: The Anonymous Asynchronous Self-Invoking Arrow Function (cuz that's a thing now)
(async () => {
    // You can now create profiles! The path to the main folder of factorio is all it needs.
    let profile = new Profile("/home/daan/Games/factorio/");

    // It can even find your credentials automatically
    await profile.authenticate();

    // Tell the FactorioAPI to use this profile
    FactorioAPI.useProfile(profile);
    // Let it query the mods and wait for it to complete
    await FactorioAPI.queryMods();

    // Some mods...
    let mods = FactorioAPI.getMods([
        "boblogistics",
        "rso-mod",
        "clusterio"
    ]);

    // Let's download them
    await FactorioAPI.downloadLatestReleases(mods);

    // This is kind of silly here, but oh well
    await FactorioAPI.checkUpdates(mods);

    // Let's see what we got installed
    let installedReleases = await profile.getInstalledReleases();

    // Let's make sure are mods can load properly, that wouldn't be a bad idea right?
    for (let rel of installedReleases) {
        await FactorioAPI.downloadDependencies(rel, false);
    }

    // Let's see what's enabled
    await profile.loadModlist();

    // Maybe just enable all of them
    profile.installedReleases.forEach(rel => {
        rel.enabled = true
    });

    // Don't forget to save!
    await profile.saveModlist();

    // Not working currently (it broke yet again, I don't think that would surprise anyone here)
    let saveReleases = await FactorioAPI.getModsFromSaveFile("test.zip");
    await FactorioAPI.downloadReleases(saveReleases);
})();
