A simple express-based app for storing and retrieving entries in a leaderboard.
Requires MongoDB (Available through Homebrew: brew install mongodb).
Make sure that you have a MongoDB daemon running, which can be started with mongod.
# optionally set environment variables PORT and MONGODB_PATH eg.
# export PORT=3000
npm startPORT: The port that the server will listen to.
Defaults to 3000
MONGODB_PATH: The path to the mongodb daemon that the server will attempt to connect to.
Defaults to mongodb://localhost:27017/leaderboard.
Sending a GET request to the root will retrieve all entries from the database, sort them by score in descending order, and serve an HTML page displaying the rank, name and score of each entry.
The page is declared as a Pug template at /views/index.pug and includes Jquery, Tether and Bootstrap 4. For styling it includes a CSS file which is built from the Sass file at sass/main.scss using node-sass-middleware.
Retrieves all entries from the database and returns them as an array in the order that MongoDB returned them.
Expects a body containing an object with the following properties:
{
"name": string (defaults to "Anonymous"),
"score": number (required),
"timestamp": date (defaults to the time at which the request was processed.)
}If the object was successfully stored it returns the MongoDB _id of the newly stored document.
