Multinational Fantasy Soccer League Backend

This project will involve the development of a Multinational Fantasy Soccer League (MFSL) platform, which will allow soccer enthusiasts to manage soccer fantasy teams by using players from different soccer leagues together. The team is eager to create MFSL, which will revolutionize the current fantasy soccer ecosystem. At this time, there is no other platform that enables multiple national leagues to be selected in one fantasy game, allowing more diversity of soccer fans to play together in the same game mode. This is a much demanded feature amid the soccer community, since key players are now scattered across different European leagues such as Ligue 1 (France), Bundesliga (Germany), La Liga (Spain), Serie A (Italy) and the Premier League (England). The expected outcomes will consist of a functioning backend combined with a web application. The backend will be developed with Java Spring while the frontend will be implemented using the React framework

Requirements

• Maven
• Docker

Running the app

Docker

• source YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_FILE
• mvn spring-boot:build-image
• docker run --env-file YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_FILE -p 8080:8080 mfsl-backend:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT

You might need to change the version of the docker image from latest if you are experiencing difficulties with the third command. You can find the version of the image in the outputs of the second command

Locally

• source YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_FILE
• mvn spring-boot:run

YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_FILE should be replaced with the absolute path to a file with real environment variables.
