dpd-raccoon

A Deployd module to interact with the raccoon collaborative filtering engine in node.js.

Created for the RedWire game engine to suggest games to play.

Based on the dpd-event module. Supports all dpd-event features, and imports all raccoon methods as well.

Installation

Copied from copied from dpd-event.

In your app's root directory, type npm install dpd-event into the command line or download the source. This should create a dpd-event directory in your app's node_modules directory.

See Installing Modules for details.

Usage

This resource offers GET and POST handlers.

Supports all dpd-event features as well as giving access to all Raccoon functions.

First, create a resource in the Deployd dashboard using the the Raccoon resource. Then add event handlers as you see fit.

Here's an example of how we like games in RedWire.

// Record that the current user likes a game
// Expecting a URL like /like/{gameId} 
 
if(!me) cancel("You need to be logged in to rate a game");
 
var gameId = parts[0];
if (!gameId) cancel("You must provide a game ID");
 
liked(me.id, gameId, function() {});

As you can see, dpd-raccoon brings in the liked() method from recommendationRaccoon.
