"Online web app providing automated betting systems for Betfair users. This includes automated backend update API calls from the server to the Betfair API point. Users can set up detailed betting systems within the scope of the Betfair API.
Several scripts are set up in the root package.json to manage distribution build and running the app as follows:
- start: node server/server.js,
- develop: concurrently \cd server && npm run watch\ \cd client && npm start,
- install: cd server && npm i && cd ../client && npm i,
- seed: cd server && npm run seed,
- build: cd client && npm run build
Running install will install all the required client and server dependancies. This is a React web app.
The seeding data will create the following MongoDB documents:
- Required config data
- A default scenario and stakingPlan
- A user - John Smith username: johnsmith password: password
- API settings record ready to enter betfair details into
Note: Two env vars are required to hold secret for authorisation and mongo database link (if running in the db in Mongo Atlas or elsewhere)
- JWT_SECRET
- MONGODB_URI

├── client/src // contains src standard folders and files with the addition of React pages and components folders
├── client/src/utils // contains the Auth for JWT Decode and Apollo/graphQL queries and mutations
├── server/classes // contains two classes to control the Betfair API and logic.
├── server/utils // contains additional logic helper files for the app
├── server/seeders // contains seed files to get started
├── .gitignore // indicates which folders and files Git should ignore
├── LICENCE // licence file Note: The root, client and server folders each have seperate package.json files that setup required app and dev dependencies.
NOTE: There is a scheduler.js file in the Server/Utils that uses a setInterval timer to automatically request data from the Betfair API. These automatted proceses do the following:
- Event update every 4 hours
- API keepalive every hour
- PlaceBets every 15 seconds
- Bet update every 15 seconds (alternate to placebets-offset by 7 sedonds)
The following mongoDb database schemas are used:
- Apisettings - holds the Betfair API settings and status data
- Condfig - holds global system config values
- Event - holds all system event data
- EventTypes - a list of current Betfair event types
- Market - holds all the market data for each event
