Repo for NodeJS project at University of Helsinki

Carpenter is a webapp which allows you to input a list of steam nicknames and outputs the games these people share. You can also search common games for a group and login with Steam openID. In the future, this openID-login will enable you to also add non-Steam games to your list as well as let you see a list of people who share some games with you, organized by the games. So, when you login with your Steam ID you will in the future get a view of your Steam and possible non-Steam games, and with each game all your friends, who also own that game, would be listed under the game.

• Given a list of Steam nicks/ids, show a 'list' of games the users have in common
• Input steamgroup name and get a 'list' of games the members have in common
• Login through steam and display friends grouped under games you all possess. (Future development)
• Persist users and add non-steam-owned games to users (Future development)

• Hit the image which says 'login through Steam'. You will be taken to a Steam login page, and after a successful login, returned to our page, where you will currently be able to see your own games

• You need to know each user's Steam account name or their vanity URL (steamcommunity.com/id/foo where foo is the vanityURL for user)
• Hit the top navigation link titled 'find common games'
• Input list of names in the first textbox, delimited by comma

• Go to the same place as with a list of usernames
• Input group name to second textbox
• Hit search

• Use MongoDB to store users and games
• Cache simple values in DB (steamnick => steamid, gameid => gamename, etc.)
• Frontend is jade

• Install node (Preferably 0.10.x, 0.11.x should work too)
  • nvm is a great tool for handling node versions (Use to install node with it)
• Install npm if needed (curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh Is preferable to package manage risntallation)
• Install development dependencies npm install -g sails bower grunt-cli
• Install project dependencies with npm install inside project directory
• Get a Steam API key and place it in a file called .env in your project root as STEAM_API_KEY. E.g. STEAM_API_KEY=yourkey

• Running server: sails lift
• Application console: sails console
• Generate application model/controller: sails generate (model|controller) <foo>
• Adding dependencies
  • backend
    • dependency for development npm install <foo> --save-dev
    • dependency npm install <foo> --save
  • frontend
    • dependency bower install <foo> --save
    • dependency for development bower install <foo> --save-dev
