Form Guide

Do you remember a day when MLS hosted their own form guide? I do. I missed it, so I built it, and hopefully, I've made it better.

I've also added some more leagues. Fun!

Development

Front-end application

• Powered by Node.js, minimum of 16.x.
• Built with Next.js
• Hosted in production on Vercel
• Uses Husky for precommit and commit message linting
• Two sources of data:
  • Most raw data is sourced from API-FOOTBALL on Rapid API, uses proxy API noted below in Back-end application.
  • XG data is sourced from American Soccer Analysis's open API

Back-end application

• Powered by Node.js, minimum of 16.x
• Hosted in Google Cloud Functions
• Sources data from API-FOOTBALL on Rapid API.
• Two functions: Form and Prediction

Development Setup

• Register with API-FOOTBALL (I use their free tier) and set the proper values in a .env file
• Run the Google Cloud Functions locally
  • APPLICATION={APP_NAME} npm start, where APP_NAME is one of form and prediction
• Create a .env file with values shown in .env.default.
  • Reference where you have those Google Cloud Functions running in those environment variables.
