Package Exports

erlc-api
erlc-api/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (erlc-api) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

🛠️ Advanced Usage

Error Handling Best Practices

const handleApiCall = async () => {
  try {
    const result = await erlc.getServer(serverToken);
    return result;
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle specific error types
    if (error.status === 401) {
      console.error("Authentication failed - check your tokens");
    } else if (error.status === 404) {
      console.error("Server not found - check your server token");
    } else if (error.message.includes("Network error")) {
      console.error("Connection issue - check your internet connection");
    } else if (error.message.includes("timeout")) {
      console.error("Request timed out - try again later");
    } else {
      console.error("Unexpected error:", error.message);
    }

    throw error; // Re-throw if needed
  }
};

Batch Operations

const getServerOverview = async (serverToken) => {
  try {
    // Execute multiple API calls concurrently
    const [serverInfo, players, staff, vehicles] = await Promise.all([
      erlc.getServer(serverToken),
      erlc.getPlayers(serverToken),
      erlc.getStaff(serverToken),
      erlc.getVehicles(serverToken),
    ]);

    return {
      server: serverInfo,
      playerCount: players.length,
      staffCount:
        Object.keys(staff.Admins).length + Object.keys(staff.Mods).length,
      vehicleCount: vehicles.length,
    };
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error getting server overview:", error.message);
    throw error;
  }
};

🔑 Authentication

Getting Your Tokens

Global Token: Contact ER:LC developers through their Discord to request increased API limits
Server Token: Found in your server settings within ER:LC

Token Security

// ❌ Don't hardcode tokens
const client = new erlc.Client({
  globalToken: "your-token-here",
});

// ✅ Use environment variables
const client = new erlc.Client({
  globalToken: process.env.ERLC_GLOBAL_TOKEN,
});

📝 TypeScript Support

The package includes comprehensive TypeScript definitions:

import erlc, { ServerStatus, ServerPlayer, JoinLog } from "erlc-api";

const client = new erlc.Client({
  globalToken: process.env.ERLC_GLOBAL_TOKEN!,
});

client.config();

// Fully typed responses
const server: ServerStatus = await erlc.getServer(serverToken);
const players: ServerPlayer[] = await erlc.getPlayers(serverToken);
const joinLogs: JoinLog[] = await erlc.getJoinLogs(serverToken);

⚡ Performance Tips

Use Promise.all() for concurrent requests when fetching multiple endpoints
Implement caching for frequently accessed data that doesn't change often
Handle rate limits by implementing retry logic with exponential backoff
Use timeouts - all methods have built-in 10-15 second timeouts

🐛 Error Types

The wrapper provides detailed error information:

Network Errors: Connection issues, DNS resolution failures
Authentication Errors: Invalid tokens, insufficient permissions
API Errors: Server-side errors with status codes and messages
Validation Errors: Invalid input parameters
Timeout Errors: Requests that take too long to complete
