Tech Stack 👨‍💻

My Inspiration 💡

It began back during my childhood days, the urge to play the IPL Auction depicting real players. I used to team up with my friends and play the auction manually with a pen and paper, with a organizer to keep track. Over the last 1 year, I wondered, can I do anything to make my experience better? So I came up with the idea of building a IPL auction app, based on the MERN stack.

What it does ✨

You can team up with your friends and dive into the fun world of auctioning IPL players. The application is capable of auctioning players belonging to various IPL Teams. The bid timer is reset with each bid and the time slot to buy a player is 10 seconds so be quick. It's a fun application to experience the the real IPL Auction with friends. Simply create an account, gather your friends and jump staright into the auction.

How I built it 🐺

• React is used on the client side.
• Node.js is used on the server side.
• The news is fetched from the RSS feed of Times of India.
• Puppeteer is used to scrape data from the IPLT20 Website.
• Socket.io is used to establish a full-duplex connection with the server and the client.
• HTTP-only cookies are used to store the information of the user on the client side.
• bcrypt is used to hash the passwords of the user.
• An auction object is created upon the creation of a new auction which stores the information of current auction.
• User class stores the information of the user and the players purchased by him/her.
• node-schedule is used to schedule the scraping process.
• Mongodb database is used to store the incomming data.
