getMicroResourceBySymbol(symbol, microResources?): MicroResource | null

Defined in: src/materials/micro-resources.ts:127

Look up a micro resource by its Frontier symbol / journal id (case-insensitive).

Here, symbol is Frontier's internal item id for the micro resource.

string

The internal symbol, e.g. "graphene", or the lower-cased form the player journal reports. Leading/trailing whitespace and case are ignored.

readonly MicroResource[] = ALL_MICRO_RESOURCES

Optional subset to search instead of every micro resource — COMPONENT_MICRO_RESOURCES, CONSUMABLE_MICRO_RESOURCES, DATA_MICRO_RESOURCES, ITEM_MICRO_RESOURCES, or any array you have filtered yourself. Omit it unless you specifically want to exclude the rest: the indexed O(1) path is taken only when the argument is omitted or is ALL_MICRO_RESOURCES by reference, and every other array — a copy of that same catalogue included — is scanned.

MicroResource | null

The matching MicroResource, or null if no micro resource has that symbol.

If symbol is present and not a string. A nullish symbol is a miss, answered the way an unrecognised one is.
