battlefield-stats-express

A simple battlefield stats middleware for nodejs express.

Usage

npm install battlefield-stats-express

const express = require('express');
const battlefieldStats = require('battlefield-stats-express');
const app = express();
 
// Get or use your key from https://battlefieldtracker.com/site-api`
const bfs = battlefieldStats(YOUR_API_TOKEN);
 
app.use('/api', bfs)
app.listen(3000);

Now you can see results when you navigate to http://localhost:3000/api/Stats/DetailedStats?platform=3&displayName=Ravic

API Docs

For documentation use http://docs.trnbattlefield.apiary.io/ then replace https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf1/api/ with http://localhost:3000/api

Advanced Usage

POSTing json data

This middleware also supports POST requests if you are using body-parser - which will populate req.body with json.

Example using bodyParser to parse json

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const battlefieldStats = require('battlefield-stats-express');
 
const app = express();
const bfs = battlefieldStats(YOUR_API_TOKEN); // obtained from https://battlefieldtracker.com/site-api
 
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use('/api', bfs)
 
app.listen(3000);

When the json is sent via POST it is then parsed where the query params mentioned in documentation reflect json key value pairs.

For example the following json is equivelant to displayName=Ravic&platform=3

{
  "displayName": "Ravic",
  "platform": 3
}

Applying more middlewares

If you wish, you can have this middleware just add the data from the battlefield tracker service to the request object, then do something else with your own handler.

const bfs = battlefieldStats(YOUR_API_TOKEN, false)
app.use('/api', bfs);
app.use('/api', function (req, res, next) {
  // lets just log it out before we send the data to the browser
  console.log(req.bfData);
  res.send(req.bfData);
});
