This Project has been abandoned
As far as I know the code still works and there are no bugs so you can still use it, but I won't be working on it anymore. There aren't any important features missing but some parts could have a better design.

mcsrv-api

An NPM module that receives data from the api.mcsrvstat.us API.

isOnline(serverIp)-->{Promise}:bool

The isOnline function allows you to know if a minecraft server is online by using a the status codes of simple http response without any body.

//prints a custom message depending if the server is or is not online
mcsrv.isOnline("jongames.com").then((bool)=>{
  console.log("The server is"+(bool?"":"not")+" online")
})

fetchData(serverIp)-->{Promise}:{ApiData:Object}

The fetchData function allows you to get the api's information as a response that resolves in an ApiData Object.

//prints the usernames of the online players
mcsrv.fetchData("jongames.com").then((data)=>{
  data.players.list.forEach((username)=>{
      console.log(username);
  });
})

Cache

The module also has a Cache object that lets you easily cache fetchData.

let cache = new Cache("jongames.com", 5*60*60*1000, true, true); 
let online = cache.getData().players.online; // Gets the cached data
console.log(`There were ${online} player${online==1?'':'s'} online in the last 5 minutes`);
online = cache.forceFetch().players.online; // Ignores the cache time to live and gets new data from the api
console.log(`There are ${online} player${online==1?'':'s'} online right now`);

doHTTPRequest()

An internal function used for HTTP requests that for some reason my previous self decided to expose.
