What's in Standard?

What's in Standard? is a simple reference page made to help new (or not new) Magic: The Gathering players easily check which sets are currently in Standard, see when the next rotation is going to happen, and understand how rotations work.

Development

Dependencies

Running it locally

git clone git@github.com:glacials/whatsinstandard
cd whatsinstandard
npm install
npm start

Then open localhost:8080 in your browser!

Updating Set Information

If you're looking to add, remove, or change a set, you'll want to change api/internal.json then run

npm install

to regenerate the API. This file is the source of truth for set information, as the website itself consumes the APIs generated from this file.

Tests

The API has a few tests. You can run them with

npm test

To autorun them whenever test files update, use

npm run autotest

Tech

What's in Standard? uses Vue.js, a lightweight JavaScript framework. It fetches the setlist from its own API and filters it based on release and drop dates.

API

We've got an API. It's super slim and the output is written by hand but it works like a charm.

/api/v5/sets.json

This is the only API call we have. It returns something like this:

{
  "deprecated": false,
  "sets": [
    {
      "name": "Battle for Zendikar",
      "block": "Battle for Zendikar",
      "code": "BFZ",
      "enter_date": "2015-10-02T00:00:00.000Z",
      "exit_date": "2017-09-29T00:00:00.000Z",
      "rough_exit_date": "Q4 2017"
    },
    ...,
  ]
{

The array is guaranteed to contain all sets currently in Standard, but also contains recently dropped sets and some future sets. For API details including how to filter them, see the API readme.
