#leaderboard-js A simple express-based app for storing and retrieving entries in a leaderboard.

##Prerequisites Requires MongoDB (Available through Homebrew: brew install mongodb).

##Usage Make sure that you have a MongoDB daemon running, which can be started with mongod.

npm install leaderboard-js
npm start

Note: By default it will listen to port 3000, but you can set the PORT environment variable to change this.

###GET : / Sending a GET request to the root will retrieve all entries from the database, sort them by score in descending order, and serve an HTML page displaying the rank, name and score of each entry.

The page is declared as a Pug template at /views/index.pug and includes Jquery, Tether and Bootstrap 4. For styling it includes a CSS file which is built from the Sass file at sass/main.scss using node-sass-middleware.

###GET : /scores Retrieves all entries from the database and returns them as an array in the order that MongoDB returned them.

###POST : /scores Expects a body containing an object with the following properties:

{
  "name": string (defaults to "Anonymous",
  "score": number (required),
  "timestamp": date (defaults to the time at which the request was processed.)
}

If the object was successfully stored it returns the MongoDB _id of the newly stored document.
