Flexible, durable, asynchronous Riot Games API client in Node.js

$ npm install --save rito

Scope it on in...

var rito = require('./rito.js');

Then create an instance with immutable configuration.

var client = new rito.Client({key: <key>, base: 'api.pvp.net'}, require('https'));

Register an endpoint at a specific version -- this ensures you'll always know which version of which endpoint your application depends on! You only need to register whatever endpoints you need -- this is an ideal thing to have in your configuration somewhere.

All endpoints and their associated routes are defined in /api/generated/api.json

client.use('champion', '1.2', err, res);

{ msg: 'Added alias for name api.lol.region.champion' }
{ msg: 'Added alias for name api.lol.region.champion.id' }

Create callbacks to do anything with the output streams you desire! Obvious uses include propagating to a database, logging, and sending messages to statsd.

var res = function (res) {
  console.log(res)
};
var err = function (err) {
  console.log(err)
};

Rather than call the rito.call() method directly (which is flexible but cumbersome), it may be easier to bind a set of variables to it-- this way you can configure whatever response handling and output streams you want, and you only have to do it in one place!

var _ = require('lodash');

//Placeholders are route name, route method (e.g. GET), region, and parameters.
var call = _.bind(client.call, client, _, _, _, _, err, function (res) {
  if (res.statusCode == 200) {
    res.on('data', function (d) {
      process.stdout.write(d);
    });
  } else {
    console.log(res.statusCode)
  }
});

You can then create whatever functions you want for convenience in your application!

var getChampionById = function (region, id) {
  call('api.lol.region.champion.id', 'GET', region, {id: id})
};

And then the fun part...

getChampionById('na', 7);

{
  "id": 7,
  "active": true,
  "botEnabled": false,
  "freeToPlay": false,
  "botMmEnabled": false,
  "rankedPlayEnabled": true
}

Aww yiss. GG, ff20, Rito pls fix.
