FanDota

GitHub repo size

FanDota was my mod 4 project during my time at Flatiron School. This is the repo for back end side of this project.

Motivations

I’ve been playing Dota 2 after watching The International 2 back in 2012. While I don’t have much time to play these days, I’ve followed the competitive scene for a while now. It goes without saying that I’m a pretty big fan! With that in mind, I decided to put into practice the React skills that I learned at Flatiron School during mod 4 and built this project.

Two challenges included:

  • Having the front end dynamically display whether a user is following a team or not while having those updates in the backend persist through the join table between teams and their followers
  • Integrate JSON Web tokens so that the back end could encrypt and decrypt data that is held in the local storage of the browser

Under the Hood Stuff

This project was built using React. Some of the data was pulled from the Open Dota API, which is a great API to look at all sorts of data related to the game. The back end portion was built using Ruby on Rails.
