Steam with Friends

Steam with Friends is a small nodejs webapp for helping out stuggling players to select which game to play together!

Dependencies

Backend:

• express
• node-steamapi
• node-mongodb
• async
• moment.js

Frontend:

• angularjs (Yes, the old one!)
• jQuery
• popper.js
• bootstrap
• FontAwesome
• Selectize.js with angular-selectize directive.

Requirements

Database

The Steam game details are stored in a MongoDB database in order to not overuse the API.

The database connection details needs to be placed in conf\db.json, example:

{
  "host": "localhost",
  "port": "27017",
  "user": "turtlemania",
  "password": "iliketurtles123",
  "name": "steam"
}

API keys

A Steam API key is needed to communicate with the Steam API (read more here: https://steamcommunity.com/dev).

The key needs to be placed in conf\steam.json, example:

{
  "api_key": "IMNOTGONNAPUTMYAPIKEYINTHEREADMEDUDE"
}

How to install and run

Install MongoDB (instructions here) and start an instance. Set the connection details in conf\db.json.

Install backend dependencies with npm install, then just start with node app.js like usual!
