CelIO

CelIO is package which allows you to read/write Celestia .stc, .ssc, .dsc and stars.dat catalog files. Currently this library can successfully read all files from data folder of vanilla Celestia 1.6.1.

Usage

const fs = require('fs')
const Celio = require('celio')

const celestiaPath = `C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Celestia`
const configPath = resolve(join(celestiaPath, 'celestia.cfg'))

async function readConfig () {
  const fileData = await readFile(configPath, {
    encoding: 'utf-8'
  })
  return Celio.read(fileData, 'cfg')
}

readConfig().catch(console.error)
