# GFL API In Elixir
## Description
The GFL API written in Elixir. I'm writing this project to practice Elixir, a functional programming language I'm learning.

## Installation
1. Install a MySQL server.

2. Modify your environment config in `config/.exs` and configure the MySQL details along with the authorization token (`token` variable).

3. Install dependencies by running `mix deps.get`.

4. Create database by running `mix ecto.create`.

5. Migrate necessary schemas by running `mix ecto.migrate`.

6. Run the web server by running `mix phx.server`.

**Note** - By default, the web server binds to port `4000`. Therefore, if you're using localhost, you can grab the player's perk status by going to `http://localhost:4000/donators?steamid=`. Otherwise, you can use NGINX and write a proxy config to redirect to the web application.

## Response
The web application returns a JSON array such as the following:

```
{"error":-1,"group":1,"steamid":"12345"}
```

**Note** - When the Steam ID isn't found, `group` will return `0` and `error` will be set to `404`.
