I'm a huge Formula One fan. Like many fans of the sport; I often find myself looking up stats and race results. The tool available on the official website, useful though it may be, is a little unwieldy and slow. This application is a quick and convenient method of getting race and championship statistics.
This application was built with React, Node, and Express.
Using some clever algorithms; it takes input from the user via text or speech-to-text, translates that query into a request to the Ergast Developer API, and returns the results.
The "master" branch is optimized for production as it is hosted here. That is the beta but basic functionality should be available. The production build can be found in /views/build. Speech-to-text only functions on Chrome.
The production build is included in this repo for testing purposes but to deploy locally there is one very simple method.
- From the parent directory; enter the command
npm install - From the
/viewsdirectory; enter the commandnpm install - From the parent directory; enter the command
npm run dev. This will start both the Express and React servers and deploy the development version.
The main model is written with TypeScript. To run the TypeScript compiler, enter the command tsc. This will start the compiler in watch mode (auto-updates after file changes are made) as per the tsconfig.json file.
