Weapons of Destiny

A web app that lists data for legendary and exotic Destiny 2 weapons.

Goals & Progress

Weapon data for Destiny 2 is scattered throughout the web - it's a bit of a pain to piece together the different bits of information (location, frame, stats, etc.) from all the lists and wikis out there.

I wanted to build a single app that handles all the following:

Clean, easy to digest layout
Responsive UI (i.e. works well on large and small screens)
Lists weapon frames (e.g "Lightweight")
Sort by weapon attributes (e.g. "Impact")
Lets you search for weapons with specific perks (e.g. "High-caliber Rounds")
Lets you easily compare two or more weapons
Lists weapon locations/vendors

Stack

Node.js – The platform
Express – Server-side framework
GraphQL - API query interface

---

React – UI library
Redux - UI state container/manager
Apollo - GraphQL API client library

---

Webpack – Front-end code bundler and build tool
Babel – ESNext transpiler
Jest – Test framework

Requirements

Node.js 8.x
npm 5.x

Getting Started

Run npm install
Start the Node.js backend via npm run start:api (listens on port 3000)
Start Webpack dev server via npm run start:ui (listens on port 8080)
Navigate to http://localhost:8080 to load the (frontend) app

Development

Here's a breakdown of the directory structure:

dist/ # Build files will spawn here
src/ # App source code
  api/ # Express + GraphQL API code
  ui/ # React code
test/ # Unit/integration test setup files

Unit and integration tests can be run via npm test
