start confirmation poll with trade offer manager?

[spock]

Is there a way to kick off auto confirmations with the node steam tradeoffer manager instead of creating another steam-community instance? Reading through the docs it says tradeoffer-manager creates a node-steam-community by default if an instance isn't applied to the constructor. If that's the case - but I didn't see any prototype functions that allow for this functionality. 

 

The use case scenario is to auto confirm trades with my bot when I send users item requests.

 

Thanks!

No, you can't access the auto-created instance if you don't supply one. Just create your own and pass it in if you need to use it for confirmations.

So passing it in exposes the community methods on the trade manager object? like such?

	
        var myCommunity = new SteamCommunity();
        
        var client = new SteamUser();
	var offerMananger = new TradeOfferManager({
		steam:        client,
		language:     "en",
		cancelTime:   300000,
                community:    myCommunity
	});

Assuming I logged in with my creds and 2fa would I listen for the confirmation events by calling offerManager.on('newConfirmation', function(){})? or offerManager.community.on() like so?

You'd use myCommunity as normal. Passing it in will cause TradeOfferManager to set cookies on it when you call offerManager.setCookies.

Ah I see. I got it - Thank you!
