[SUGGESTION] getNewestFile method

[Arweix]

I can suggest adding a method that searches for the latest version of the mod for a specific version of the game and returns file id.
getNewestFile(addon_id, game_version)
Usage example:
getNewestFile(518157, "1.12.2") # Output: 3763886

As stated earlier, I think this could be a great feature. I think adding in some sorting system to match other attributes for a collection of files could be useful.

I will be looking into this. At the very least, this method will be implemented. At the very most, new functionality will be added that will allow for objects to be sorted based arbitrary attributes. This may take some more time as finals are coming ever closer at my university, but I will look into this whenever I have some free time, or at the latest in a few weeks.

Thanks again for pointing this out!

Just found this library and have been messing with it. I would love this idea! Would be very useful.

I am glad that I am somehow helping in development :)

In my bug report #7, I have some code that I believe basically asks what you're looking for.

most_up_to_date_file = None
for file in client.addon_files(addon_id = ADDON_ID:
    if "1.18.2" in file.version:
        if most_up_to_date_file == None:
            most_up_to_date_file = file
        if file.id > most_up_to_date_file.id:
            most_up_to_date_file = file
print(f'{most_up_to_date_file}')

# Running this for the Fabric API mod for Minecraft gives me the output:
