Board Games

Picking a board game to play can be challenging. Figuring out what games work with the number of people you have is difficult enough, but then factor in how much time and brain space you have. Often picking the game ends up being the most difficult part of the night.

This grabs my collection from BoardGameGeek and provides a web page to filter and search for board games.

Requirements

• NodeJS 16
• pnpm
• Golang 1.17

Usage

Indexer

You can build the cli with make cli. This will create a bin/bg which you can call and use as you need.

To setup the index (or make changes to it), run make setup.

To update the index, run make index.

Frontend

After installing packages with pnpm install, serve the site and rebuild changes with make serve. Build the production site (with assets minified) with make site. Deploy the site make deploy.

Development

Lint code with make lint. This lints both JavaScript code (requires pnpm install) and Go code (requires golangci-lint).
