Documentation for using the Steam Widget

The endpoints for the steam API endpoint in Telos can be found here.

Design Intention

The Steam Widget is intended as a way for users to track the completion of their owned games. This means the widget is focused on rest and relaxation as opposed to productivity as there is only so much time you can be focused on working.

Requirements

The widget will take a steam vanity name and use that to retrieve a list of owned games.

1. Generate a Steam Web API Key
2. Navigate to the backend and export your steam key as an environment variable (STEAM_KEY) in the backend terminal. The data will be sent to steam.js telos-backend\src\routes\api\steam.js. Use the syntax shown in the screenshot below (Note: if you're using mac or linux, use export instead of set)

3. Open the file steam.jsx located in frontend\src\components\steam\ and add your steam username into line 7

4. Run the code with npm start on the frontend and backend

• Note: This will only get owned games for the person who generated the API key, their friends, and public steam profiles
