Summoner Stats is an NodeJS Express + ReactJS app that serves as a simple demonstration app for interacting with the Riot API to show recent League of Legends match history.
View the live sample here: https://summoner-stats.herokuapp.com/
To run summoner-stats locally, clone this repository and run the following command from the project's root directory:
Note: dotenv is utilized to load environment variables at runtime so you should place your Riot API key in a file called .env. A sample .env.sample file is provided as an example and includes the RIOT_API_URL variable which you should also copy into your .env file.
npm install && cd client && npm install
cd ../
npm run dev
The first command will install the server-side dependencies, switch to the client directory, and then install the dependencies for the client-side. After installing dependencies, switch back to the project's root directory and run npm run dev.
npm run dev will fire up both the server and client apps which can then be utilized via http://localhost:3000
package.json and Procfile together make this application ready to be published to Heroku immediately. The only manual work required is to set the environment variables for the Heroku app. Simply link the repository up to Heroku and deploy the master branch.
A few unit tests have been written for the client as a proof-of-concept, and could be further expanded to other pieces of the client code and even on to the server pieces, too.
To run the demo tests, switch to the client directory and run npm test
cd client && npm test
The server will make a few requests to particular static-data endpoints on Riot's API - these endpoints are rate limited to fairly low limits per hour. Running the server multiple times may cause you to hit these rate limits and should be avoided.
Of course, other standard rate limits are in place and there is no caching of summoner results as this is just a simple demo. Running into rate limit constraints may interrupt the experience if encountered.
