cronos xp

Discord server

A flexible xp-based level system framework that uses mongoDB

This package was designed for Discord but nothing is linking it to discord directly, so if you are searching for a general xp-based level system think of guildId as a group name and userId as the individual users. (Note: guildId has to be unique, and the userId's inside that guild have to be unique as well)

Setup

npm i cronos-xp
const CronosXp = require("cronos-xp")
const Level = new CronosXp("mongoDBUrlGoesHere", {
    linear: false,        //Default value
    xpGap: 300,           //Default value
    growthMultiplier: 30, //Default value
    startWithZero: true,  //Default value
    returnDetails: false  //Default value
})

Constructor Options

linear:
Defines if the leveling is linear (aka. you always need the same amount of xp for each level) or exponential (see below).
Here is an example of how it works

xpGap:
Only needed if linear is true
This value defines the xp gap between the different levels

growthMultiplier:
Only needed if linear is false
The XP needed for a level is calculated with the function ƒ(x) = g * x² where g = growthMultiplier.
(A growthMultiplier of 0 equals x, turning the function into ƒ(x) = x³)

Hint:
High growthMultiplier = rapid increase in the amount of xp needed for the next level.
Low growthMultiplier = slow increase in the amount of xp needed for the next level.

startWithZero:
Since ƒ(0) = g * 0² equals 0 the starting level would be 0.
To have it start with level 1 set this property to false.
(This changes the function to ƒ(x) = g * x² - g or ƒ(x) = x³ - x)

returnDetails:
If this option is on some functions will return more information than they normally do.
This includes:

For more information take a look at the Declaration file index.d.ts

Example

linear = true; xpGap = 500;
level 0 = "0xp"
level 1 = "500xp"
level 2 = "1,000xp"
//...
level 50 = "25,000xp"
level 51 = "25,500xp"
level 52 = "26,000xp"
//...
level 90 = "45,000xp"
level 91 = "45,500xp"
level 92 = "46,000xp"

linear = false; growthMultiplier = 20;
level 0 = "0xp"
level 1 = "20xp"
level 2 = "80xp"
//...
level 50 = "50,000xp"
level 51 = "52,020xp"
level 52 = "54,080xp"
//...
level 90 = "162,000xp"
level 91 = "165,620xp"
level 92 = "169,280xp"

Public Instance Methods

If there are any questions about the methods, their parameters, their return types or anything thing else take a look at the Declaration file index.d.ts or just join our Discord

xpForLevel()

A method that calculates the minimum amount of xp needed for a specific level.

Level.xpForLevel(<targetLevel - number>);

// Returns <number>

Level.setLevel(<guildId - string>, <userId - string>, <value - number>);

// Returns <Promise<boolean>>

addXp()

A method that adds a specific amount of xp to a specific user in a specific guild. Returns object of type AddSubtractReturnObject
