modworkshop-dl

ℹ A Command-Line Utility Tool for Installing Mods from Mod Workshop

⚠ Migration to a new Version ⚠

With the new addition of the Modworkshop.net API. I am in the process of cleaning up the code to implement these new additions (removes the tedious web scraping, YES!). This will be in the form of a version 2. View the Development Branch Here

How does it work?

• Web Scraping with Colly
• Downloading with Grab
• Interactive Terminal with Uilive
• Unarchiving .zip / .rar / .tar with Archiver v3

What I've Learned

• The "Fundahmentals" of Golang ⏩
• Command Line Tooling (How they are made) 💿
• Web Scraping ✨
• As a person with OCD. Never write all of your code in one file, You'll go Crazy.
