This is the official FAForever API. Amongst others, the API offers the following functionality:

- User management (registration, password reset, etc.)

- JSON-API compliant REST API for lots of community data (i.e. map, mod & replay vault, game statistics, etc.)

- Leaderboards

- Clan management

- Vault upload functionality

- Internal FAF featured mod deployments

- Challonge proxy

 

## How to run

### Setup database

The application requires a database scheme in the right version. To create this database please checkout the project [faf-stack](https://github.com/FAForever/faf-stack), open a shell terminal (git bash on Windows) and run the script `scripts/init-db.sh`. This will setup the database in the latest version and configure the users for you.

### From source

In order to run the application from source code:

1. Clone the repository

1. Import the project into IntelliJ. For some reason, IntelliJ deletes launch configurations after import. Please revert such deleted files first (Version Control (Alt+F9) -> Local Changes)

1. Configure your JDK if you haven't already

1. Make sure you have the _IntelliJ Lombok plugin_ installed

1. Set up a [FAF database](https://github.com/FAForever/db).

1. Launch `FafApiApplication`

 

### From binary

Given the number of required configuration values, it's easiest to run the API using [faf-stack](https://github.com/FAForever/faf-stack):

    docker-compose up -d faf-java-api

## Database dependency

Due to potential issues with Hibernate, the application checks on startup if the flyway migration version matches the expected version and otherwise fails to boot.

* To increment the db version you need to change it in two places:

  * application.yml: `faf-api.database.schema-version` (just an integer of the version)

  * .github/workflows/build.yaml: Global variable `FAF_DB_VERSION` (git tag of the db release, usually prefixed with a `v`)

* In some cases it might make sense to override the required version on the server. Use the env variable `DATABASE_SCHEMA_VERSION`

 

## Sample routes

* [API documentation](http://localhost:8010)

* [List event definitions](http://localhost:8010/data/event)

* [List 5 maps with more than 8 players](http://localhost:8010/data/mapVersion?filter=(maxPlayers=gt=8)&page[size]=5)

* [List UI mods, sorted by last updated ascending](http://localhost:8010/data/modVersion?filter=(type=='UI')&sort=-updateTime)

* [List all players](http://localhost:8010/data/player)

* [List events of players](http://localhost:8010/data/playerEvent)

* [List replays](http://localhost:8010/data/game?filter=(endTime=isnull=true))

## Technology Stack

This project uses:

* Java 17 as the programming language

* [Spring Boot](https://projects.spring.io/spring-boot/) as a framework

* [Hibernate ORM](http://hibernate.org/orm/) as ORM mapper

* [Elide](http://elide.io/) with [RSQL filters](http://elide.io/pages/guide/08-filters.html#rsql) to serve [JSON-API](http://jsonapi.org/) conform data

* [Gradle](https://gradle.org/) as a build automation tool

* [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) to deploy and run the application

* [Swagger](http://swagger.io/) as an API documentation tool
