NodeToDFHack is a Node.js interface for interacting with DFHack using TypeScript and Protobuf. This library allows you to build robust integrations with Dwarf Fortress' DFHack tool, providing streamlined communication between your Node.js applications and DFHack.

Features

• TypeScript Support: Typed interfaces for easy development.
• Protobuf Integration: Leverage Protobuf for structured and efficient data exchange.
• Easy-to-Use API: Simplified methods to interact with DFHack from your Node.js applications.

Installation

Install the package via NPM:

npm install node-to-dfhack

Usage

Here is a basic example of how to use NodeToDFHack in your project:

Example

import { DFHackInterface, DFHackProtoBufferInterface } from 'node-to-dfhack';

async function main() {
    // Establish a connection
    const df = new DFHackInterface('127.0.0.1', 5000);
    await df.connect();
    console.log('Connected to DFHack!');

    // Pass the connection to the Protobuf interface
    const protoInterface = new DFHackProtoBufferInterface(df);

    // Example sending a Protobuf command
    await instance.coreSuspend().then(console.log).catch(console.error);
}

main();
