Maniascript API

Parse the maniascript documentation file generated by the game executable (game.exe /generatescriptdoc=doc.h) and generate an object describing the maniascript API.

Installation

Install with npm: npm install @maniascript/api.

Binary

The package exposes a generate-api command. It takes one argument, the path to the documentation file to parse. It will create an api.json file containing the api in json format described by the documentation file.

generate-api ./path/to/doc.h will create the ./path/to/api.json file.

Import

api

import { api } from '@maniascript/api' or const { api } = require('@maniascript/api')

api is an object describing the whole maniascript api.

• classes contains the description of each of this classes.
• namespaces contains the description of all the default maniascript libraries. eg: MathLib, TextLib, ...

classes

import { classes } from '@maniascript/api' or const { classes } = require('@maniascript/api')

classes is an array containing the names of all the maniascript classes.

[
  "CMlScript",
  "CManiaApp",
  "CEditorMainPlugin",
  "CServerPlugin",

  "CSmAction",
  "CSmMapType",
  "CNod",
  ...
]

const api = generate('SomeDocumentationText')

execute

import { execute } from '@maniascript/api' or const { execute } = require('@maniascript/api')

execute is a function that takes the path to the documentation file to parse and create a file containing the description of the api defined in the documentation in json format.

execute('path/to/doc.h')
// generate a file: 'path/to/api.json'
