Soccer Manager

The application is deployed on heroku. https://fantasy-soccer-th98.herokuapp.com

You can also browse the API documentation on Postman. https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/3481116/UVRHiiCC

Tech Stack

1. NodeJS - JavaScript engine for running back end JS code
2. MongoDB - Database, cloud service being used is Atlas by MongoDB
3. Mongoose - ODM for MongoDB
4. ExpressJS - Web Framework used to create API
5. Jest and Supertest - Testing framework
6. Heroku - For hosting the application

Good design decisions

• Graceful Shutdown of the API server, ensures that there is no interruption in request processing of the APIs in case of restart/redeploy.
• Schema declaration using mongoose.
• Request schema validation is done using Joi.

Possible improvements

• Typescript could have been used as the language of choice because of a lot of advantages, but because this was a small project I decided to go with JS which also helped in fast development. But I recommend using Typescript for big projects.

Environment variables

• .env file is used to set environment variables..
• .env example is given in the .env.example file

Testing

Following are the instructions to run tests:

To run these tests you should have a running Mongo DB service, add the URL in .env file.
