Introduction

This is a deck building app for Star Wars: The Card Game. This project is inspired by (but not a fork of) the Alciende-created deck building sites (netrunnerdb.com, arkhamdb.com, ringsdb.com, etc). This was lacking for the Star Wars game so I wanted to make one to help people get into this great game.

Prerequisites

1. For local deployment
   • Ruby 3.2.2
   • Rails 7
   • Postgres 16
   • Node.js 20
2. For container deployment
   • Docker
   • Docker Compose

For Development

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/kphurley/swlcgdb.git swlcgdb
2. Change directory: cd swlcgdb
3. Start postgres configure config/database.yml if required. To start a docker instance of postgres run: ./postgres_docker.sh
4. Install esbuild: npx install esbuild
5. Update the db schemes: bin/rails db:migrate
6. Seed the db with playing cards from OCTGN: bin/rails db:seed
7. Start the development server: bin/dev
8. Visit localhost:3000 in your browser

For Production

To use swlcgdb in production use the docker-compose.yml. Make sure to change the .env variables to secure your application.

• To start the server: docker compose up
• To stop the server: docker compose down

Other info

• Feel free to submit issues if you're interested in some functionality this is missing.
• For now, I'm only including support for the official FFG cards released, but the xml source I am using to build the DB (the OCTGN data) has a lot of the custom cards released after the FFG period ended - if folks find this useful and find that certain custom sets are needed, please submit an issue.

If you find this useful and appreciate my efforts, I'd happily accept a tip on my Patreon.
