Class: Constellations

Constellations

An api adapter that provides functions for accessing constellation information via the universe and search ESI end points. You should not usually instantiate this directly as its constructor requires an internal api instance.

This is a function class so instances of Constellations are functions and can be invoked directly, besides accessing its members. Its default function action is equivalent to get or all if no id is provided.


new Constellations(agent)

Create a new Constellations instance using the given agent.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
agent ESIAgent

The ESI agent

Members


A Search module instance configured to search over the 'constellation' type.

Methods


all()

Get a list of constellations. This route expires daily at 11:05.

This makes an HTTP GET request to /universe/constellations/. The route version is v1.

On success, this resolves to a list of constellation ids.

Returns:

A Promise that resolves to the parsed JSON of the response.

Type
Promise.<Array.<Number>>

get(id)

Create a new Constellation end point targeting the particular constellation by id.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
id Number

The constellation id

Returns:
Type
Constellation

names(ids)

Resolve a set of IDs to names and categories. Supported ID's for resolving are: Characters, Corporations, Alliances, Stations, Solar Systems, Constellations, Regions, Types.

This makes an HTTP POST request to /universe/names/. The route version is v2.

The array length of ids must be between 1 and 1000.

On success, this resolves to list of id/name associations for a set of ID's. ID's that cannot be resolved are not returned. An example result is:

[
  {
    "id": 95465499,
    "name": "CCP Bartender"
  }
]

Note that the type schema of the response is modified from what is defined in ESI. Specifically:

  • The category property is removed.

The results will only include matches with the constellation category. If ids is longer than the reported maximum length for ESI, the array will be split into smaller chunks and multiple requests will be made and then concatenated back together.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
ids Array.<Number>

The ids to resolve. If no ids are provided, then all names are returned.

Returns:

A Promise that resolves to the parsed JSON of the response.

Type
Promise.<Array.<Object>>
