d3-experiment

d3-experiment uses the great sauertracker API by Origin.

Set up

You need the following tools to get started:

  • Node.js possible > 6.9.1
  • npm of course.
  • MongoDB

Once you've cloned the repository hit npm install which will do the work for you.

Configuration

The config.json currently includes one line that is supplied as the connection string.

Aggregate data

You can aggregate the data using node aggregate.js which will start mining the data from 1 to infinity. For improved debugging you can use the NODE_DEBUG=aggregate node aggregate.js flag as well.

Issues with the API

I've stumbled upon some issues in the API, which is why forever is beeing used to go on mining the data as necessary. For that reason I use forever to keep running until limit, which will push empty objects for not existent games. Use with NODE_DEBUG=aggregate forever runner.js in case you have forever installed globally. Otherwise you can do the following: npm install forever && NODE_DEBUG=aggregate ./node_modules/.bin/forever node aggregate.js

Visualize the data

Fire up the server with node server.js which will tell you where to go. D3.js and datamaps are used. You can switch the different cards with the sidebar.
