Question Question regarding myFriends

[Poketz]

Firstly, thanks for the great work on steam-user. It's great.

 

I'm having some issues with getting my friends list, having read the docs I understand it can be accessed via myFriends.

 

I've tried the following but it keeps returning undefined.

 

 

function getMyFriends(callback) {
    if(err)
        return callback(err);
    if(!user.myFriends)
        callback(null,user.myFriends)
}

 

What event do I need to wait for to ensure it holds something?

[Dr. McKay]

You need to wait for this event: https://github.com/DoctorMcKay/node-steam-user#friendslist

 

Also, the problems I see with your code are that err doesn't exist, and that you're only sending back the friends list if it's falsy (which would never result in sending back the friends list).

Thank you very much, I completley missed the event - couldn't see the forest for the trees.

 

And you're quite right, my code was garbage.

[Poketz]

On the top of my Friends is their a way to either establish a list of only my friends that are online.

 

or even better.. an event that advises me when they start a game?

[Dr. McKay]

The user event will be emitted anytime someone's persona data changes (e.g. they go online/offline or start/quit a game).

 

Also, at any time the users property contains the current persona data for everyone we know about.
