Game Database (Backend)

This is a Node.js Express based backend with the sole purpose of acting as a proxy between our Frontend and the RAWG API. Sign up to get a key here.

This allows us to safely call the API without leaking our API key in the Frontend.

How to Run Locally

Assuming you have Node and NPM already installed.

• Create an .env file with the following content.

API_KEY=<Replace with your API key>
CLIENT_DOMAIN=<Replace with the client's domain for example : http://localhost:5173>
PORT=3000

• Run npm install
• Run node index.js
• Clone and run the Frontend. You can find it here.
