String Replacement for Steam API Keys #1049

Open Leystryku opened 3 years ago

Describe a feature you would like to have added to GmodStore

Users should be able to configure their Steam Web API Key somewhere once in their GMS Settings (or wherever else it may suit better). Addons could then write {{ steamweb_apikey }} the same way we do with e.g. {{ user_id }} to have the API Key automatically embed itself within their addon.

This would alleviate some of the installation troubles users on GMS usually have since some addons require users to manually enter the API Key. Automatically doing this would result in fewer tickets on the content creator side.

Currently users have to manually get the Steam Web API Key from their Steam Account every single time they want to install an addon which requires the Key.
