PnWKit is here to make interacting with the V3 Politics and War API easy. All you have to do is import the library, add your key, and make a query.

Getting Started

To get started using PnWKit you must first have node and npm installed, or you can use it in a browser. It is recommended you are using TypeScript, as it will give you full advantage of the advanced typings within the library and allow you to be much more productive.

Prerequisites

Install the library using NPM.

• npm

  npm i --save pnwkit

Future Plans

Baseball queries are coming soon with v2.3.0!

Usage

To use PnWKit just import the library and add your key, then you can make asyncronous queries.

import pnwkit from 'pnwkit';
pnwkit.setKey('xxxxx');

const nations = await pnwkit.nationQuery({id: [100541], first: 1}, `nation_name`);

console.log(`Nation name: ${nations[0].nation_name}`);

If you want to paginate your query for more results, just enable pagination after your query.

const nations = await pnwkit.nationQuery({id: [100541], first: 1}, `nation_name`, true);

console.log(`Nation name: ${nations.data[0].nation_name
name}, current page: ${nations.paginatorInfo.currentPage}`);

The queries are written in normal GraphQL, so you can get all the cities in a nation like this

const nations = await pnwkit.nationQuery({id: [100541], first: 1}, 
  `
  nation_name,
  cities {
    name  
  }`);

console.log(`First city of ${nations[0].nation_name}: ${nations[0].cities[0].name}`);

If you want to have multiple copies of PnWKit running at the same time, you can use the Kit class export.

import {Kit} from 'pnwkit';

const pnwkit = new Kit();
pnwkit.setKey('xxxx');

// queries...

Use with require()

PnWKit also supports require() like in vanilla js.

const pnwkit = require('pnwkit');

pnwkit.setKey('xxxx');
// etc..

Caching

PnWKit has caching built right in for your convenience. Just create a cache function with PnWKit.cached and define how long it can be cached for. Then call it like normal.

Different calls return different cached versions too.

const cachableNationQuery = pnwkit.cached(
  pnwkit.nationQuery, // The query you want to cache
  1                   // How long that query can be cached at a time, in minutes
);

const nations = await cachableNationQuery({id: [100541], first: 1}, `nation_name`);

// If you call it again within the age limit you'll get a cached version
const nationsCached = await cachableNationQuery({id: [100541], first: 1}, `nation_name`);

Ratelimit Information

PnwKit stores the following rate limit info for your convenience.

• pnwkit.rateLimit.limit: The maximum number of requests you can make in a given time period.
• pnwkit.rateLimit.remaining: The number of requests you have left in the current time period.
• pnwkit.rateLimit.reset: The unix timestamp at which point the rate limit resets.
• pnwkit.rateLimit.resetAfterSeconds: The number of seconds until the rate limit resets.

You can also do the following queries in PnWKit:

• nationQuery
• allianceQuery
• tradePricesQuery
• tradeQuery
• warQuery
• treasureQuery
• colorQuery
• bountyQuery
• cityQuery
• warAttackQuery
• bankRecordsQuery

You can look at the arguments and possible data to collect here at the docs.

Development

Testing

Setup

Tests won't work right away, you have to specify private information inside the test/testconfig.json file.

It should look like this:

{
  "apiKey": "xxxxx"
}

After that just run npm run test

Generating Docs

To generate documentation use the script: npm run docs.
