Technologies

• Node.js
• Express
• Angular
• Redis
• PostgreSQL
• League of Legends API
• Less

Getting up and running

First install the following:

• Node.js (v6.3.0)
• PostgreSQL (v9.4.1)
• Redis (v3.0.500)
• Python (v2.7.11)
• The correct build system for C++, for node-gyp (e.g. VS Community 2015 on Windows)

Other versions may be okay, but these are the ones we use and test with.

Next, git clone the repo. In the root directory do npm install and make sure all the dependencies are fetched and built correctly. At this point you'll want to make sure that you've set up a working PostgreSQL service and a local Redis service. Now, you need to set up a settings.json with the following:

{
  "lol_api_key": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",
  "postgre_url": "postgres://user:password@hostname/database",
  "email_url": "smtps://user%40example.com:password@smtp.example.com",
  "secret_key": "keyboard cat"
}

Where:

• lol_api_key is your API key from Riot games
• postgre_url is a URL to your PostgreSQL database dedicated to MyLF
• email_url is a connection URL for sending emails (used for resetting passwords, can be set to a dummy value while developing)
• secret_key is used for cookies, use some cryptographically random string here

Finally, as long as you've done everything correctly so far, you should be able to run node batch/create_db.js to initialize database tables (CAUTION: this wipes any exisitng tables for MyLF; don't perform this step if your DB is already set up). Now, install gulp, npm install -g gulp-cli, and then run gulp bower to install front-end dependencies. Finally, you can run gulp to build the Less and Jade files and start the webserver. Once it is running you should be able to view the app in your browser at localhost.
