Library that wraps the icza/screp command line tool for use in TypeScript and JavaScript.
This library depends on the screp command line tool being available on the system. It must be installed separately.
As prerequisite, the screp command line tool must be installed. If it's on the PATH, you don't have to specify its location.
Get the source or a prebuilt binary at icza/screp to start using this library.
Once screp is installed, you can add this library as dependency via @dada78641/screp-ts, and start parsing files like this:
import {runScrep} from '@dada78641/screp-ts'
const res = await runScrep('./replay_file.rep') // or a buffer of a replay fileThe parsed data will be in res.resultData. Since we run screp as an external command, the result also includes some metadata about the command execution itself.
If the command was able to execute, it will always resolve with the result, even if the result is negative (such as an unparseable file). If the child process was terminated abnormally (e.g. terminated by the OS), the runScrep() command will throw an error.
Parsing errors and warnings are returned as a string as the res.parseErrors value. If all went well, this will be an empty string.
You can pass an options object as the second argument. This narrows the data down to specific parts. Parsing speed is unchanged, but the size of the response will vary.
| Option | Value | Equivalent | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| includeCommands | boolean | -cmds=true |
Includes in-game commands. |
| includeComputedData | boolean | -computed=true |
Includes computed data. |
| includeReplayHeader | boolean | -header=true |
Includes replay metadata information. |
| includeMapData | boolean | -map=true |
Includes map data. Required for the other map options. |
| includeMapDataHash | boolean |
-mapDataHash= value
|
Calculates a hash of the map data. Requires mapDataHashAlgorithm. |
| includeMapGraphics | boolean | -mapgfx=true |
Includes map graphics. |
| includeMapResourceLocations | boolean | -mapres=true |
Includes resource locations. |
| includeMapTiles | boolean | -maptiles=true |
Includes map tile data. |
| mapDataHashAlgorithm | string† | – | Selects the algorithm for creating the map data hash. |
†: type MapDataHashAlgorithm, or 'sha1' | 'sha256' | 'sha512' | 'md5'. If includeMapDataHash is true, this must be set.
By default, the same options are passed as you'd get by running screp without additional arguments: basically, all data except the commands and map data, and no map hash.
There's one separate option that's in its own object, specifically for setting the path to the screp binary. This is a separate object because it does not otherwise affect the command output.
If you need to set this value, you can pass it as the third argument to runScrep().
| Option | Value | Equivalent | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| screpPath | string† | – | Path to the screp binary. |
†: the screpPath argument defaults to "screp". If screp is on the PATH then you don't need to set this.
The await getScrepVersion() function returns an object describing the currently installed version of the command line tool.
The await canRunScrep() function returns a boolean indicating whether the screp command is available.
This library includes type information for the parsed JSON output, among types for the library itself. The parsed JSON type can be imported as type ScrepData.
See src/lib/parse.ts for an overview.
