Variant

The ProtonSDK Variant code done in Javascript to create or decode packets for games/servers that use ProtonSDK

Examples

Creating a Variant Packet

const { Variant } = require("protonsdk-variant");
const varlist = new Variant(); // create a new instance of Variant class

const packetData = varlist.call("OnConsoleMessage", "Hello"); // creates a packet and returns the data
/* Packet Data:
{
  type: 4,
  packetType: 1,
  netID: -1,
  state: 8,
  delay: 0,
  argsCount: 2,
  args: [ 'OnConsoleMessage', 'Hello' ],
  packet: <Buffer 04 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ... 44 more bytes>
}*/

const packetData2 = varlist.call(
    {
        netID: 1,
        delay: 1000
    },
    "OnConsoleMessage",
    "Hello"
); // creates a packet with netID and delay options and returns the data
/* Packet Data:
{
  type: 4,
  packetType: 1,
  netID: 1,
  state: 8,
  delay: 1000,
  argsCount: 2,
  args: [ 'OnConsoleMessage', 'Hello' ],
  packet: <Buffer 04 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e8 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ... 44 more bytes>

Converting a Buffer to Variant Class

const { Variant } = require("protonsdk-variant");
const varlist = Variant.from("0400000001000000ffffffff000000000800000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020002100000004f6e436f6e736f6c654d65737361676501020500000048656c6c6f"); // returns a new instance of the Variant class containing the decoded data

/* Packet Data: 
{
  type: 4,
  packetType: 1,
  netID: -1,
  state: 8,
  delay: 0,
  argsCount: 2,
  args: [ 'OnConsoleMessage', 'Hello' ],
  packet: <Buffer 04 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ... 44 more bytes>
