I'm encountering some difficulties while attempting to integrate an NPM package into my meteor project.
The specific module I am trying to utilize is the steam package. In order to make this work, I have included the meteorhacks:npm package for meteor and made changes to the packages.json file as follows:
{
"steam": "0.6.8",
"adm-zip": "0.4.7",
"buffer-crc32": "0.2.5",
"bytebuffer": "3.5.4",
"bufferview": "1.0.1",
"long": "2.2.3",
"protobufjs": "4.0.0-b2",
"ascli": "1.0.0",
"optjs": "3.2.1-boom",
"colour": "0.7.1"
}
(clarification: it includes the steam package along with all its dependencies and sub-dependencies)
Upon implementing the package within my meteor app using the following code located in -/server/steambot/steambot.js
var Steam = Meteor.npmRequire('steam');
var bot = new Steam.SteamClient();
bot.logOn({ // (dummy credentials)
accountName: 'a',
password: '123456789',
authCode: 'aaa55',
shaSentryfile: 'aaa'
});
I hoped that would suffice, but unfortunately, errors began to surface.
var cryptedSessKey = require('crypto').publicEncrypt(fs.readFileSync(__dirna TypeError: Object # has no method 'publicEncrypt'
It appears that the use of the require() function from the steam and its dependencies is causing these issues. Switching every instance of require() with Meteor.npmRequire() only leads to encountering the next require() function within one of the NPM packages.
Is there a way to resolve this without having to modify each occurrence of require() to Meteor.npmRequire()?
Furthermore, being relatively new to the NPM and Meteor ecosystem, I wonder if this workflow aligns with best practices and if there are any optimizations or considerations I should keep in mind.
