Handling .logOn() asynchronously

[ElijahPepe]

I have two functions in a class:

login(username, password) {
	this.steamUser.logOn({ accountName: username, password: password });
	this.steamUser.on('loggedOn', async () => {
		await this._getAccessToken();
		return this.accessToken;
	});
}

_getAccessToken() {
	return new Promise(resolve => {
		this.steamUser.getEncryptedAppTicket(1818750, async (err, appTicket) => {
			if (err) {
				throw new Error(err);
			}

			const data = await this.info(appTicket.toString('hex').toUpperCase());
			this.accessToken = data.token;

			resolve(this);
		});
	});
}

When I call the login() function, .logOn() is resolved before the loggedOn event can be fired. Is there a way of using .logOn() asynchronously?

You would need to wrap logOn and the loggedOn handler in a promise. You'd also need to account for the error event in case you fail to log on, and remove the event listeners when you resolve the promise.

I was wondering, wouldn't the logOff() method remove the event listeners? @Dr. McKay

[Dr. McKay]

No, you're responsible for removing your own event listeners.
