A module to verify Steam accounts

This module, in conjunction with node-steam allows you to verify a Steam account for further usage on an external service. The procedure is simple:

• The user adds the Steam bot.
• The Steam bot sends the user a code.
• The user enters that code on the external service.
• The user's Steam account is verified.

This only makes sense on a service where a web interface is not a possibility, as using OAuth would be a better method. Because of that, and because this code is messy and lacks better documentation, I won't publish this module to the npm registry; though I might at some point.

$ npm install --save git+https://github.com/MeLlamoPablo/steam-verificator.git

const steamVerificator = require("steam-verificator");

let verificator = new steamVerificator.Verificator({
	trigger: steamVerificator.Trigger.FriendRequest,
	triggerOptions: {
		secondService: "My App"
	},
	steamClient: steamClient,
	steamUser: steamUser,
	steamFriends: steamFriends
});

// Because the Verificator is using Trigger.FriendRequest, whenever an user adds the bot,
// it will send back the code to them. After the user passes back the code:

function onUserCodeEnter(code) {
	let steamID = verificator.verify(code);
	
	if (steamID !== null) {
	    // Verification process successful.
	    // steamID is the user's steam id.
	} else {
	    // Verification process failed.
	}
}

See example.js for a full example file.

Here's a full list of the options accepted by the constructor:

• steamClient, steamUser and steamFriends are defined by node-steam.
• trigger: either steamVerificator.Trigger.FriendRequest (the bot sends the code when the user adds it to their friend list) or steamVerificator.Trigger.Manual (you need to run Verificator.trigger(user), where user is the user's Steam ID).
• triggerOptions
  • secondService: the name of the external service.
  • ignoredUsers: an array of steam ids that the bot will ignore upon friend request.
• codeLength: the length of the code. Default is 10.
