Basic Usage

This example will log all scored matches from an event and print when the event's awards are finalized

import * as robotevents from "robotevents";

const event = await robotevents.events.get(process.env.SKU);

// Watch the 1st Division
const division = event.divisions[0];
console.log(`${event.name} on ${event.start} @ ${event.location.venue}`);
console.log(division.name);

// Watch the division for matches
const matches = await event.matches(division.id);
matches.watch();

// When matches get generated
matches.on("add", match => {
    console.log(match);
});

// When matches get scored
matches.on("update", match => {
    console.log(match);
});

// Watch the for the event to be finalized
event.watch();

event.on("update", (key, current) => {
    if (key !== "awards_finalized" || !current) return;

    console.log("Awards finalized");
});

API Reference

For options objects, refer to the API documentation. These are strongly typed in TypeScript.

Watching

All frequently updated structures support polling and updates using their .watch() method. This is either provided by Watchable for single objects (an event or team) or WatchableCollection for groups of objects (matches at an event, rankings, etc)

Watchable Represents a single item that is commonly updated that is best represented as its own object. This includes Event and Team.

.watch(frequency?: number = 30000)

Starts polling RobotEvents for updates.

• frequency is the number of ms to poll between. Note that polls ignore cache

.unwatch()

Stops polling

.on("update", (key, newValue, oldValue) => void) Event triggered on update

---

WatchableCollection Reprsents a group of items, which can be added to, removed from, or have a individual item in the collection updated.

Note that WatchableCollection implements all Map properties.

.watch(frequency?: number = 30000)

Starts polling RobotEvents for updates.

• frequency is the number of ms to poll between. Note that polls ignore cache

.unwatch()

Stops polling

.on("add", (value) => void) Event triggered when item is added to collection

.on("remove", (value) => void) Event triggered when item is removed from collection

.on("update", (newValue, oldValue) => void) Event triggered when item is updated
