Note
This site is unfortunately now obsolete. Ongoing changes to the League of Legends API have made my site no longer work. Since this was create as a learning project I have not taken the time to update the project to keep it in line with the current LoL API.
If I chose to continue work on this the goal would be to update, clean up, and incorporate this project into my portfolio page. If that occurs future development will happen in that repo. This project also needs to be modernized to work with new game modes and champions added by Riot.
Welcome to my PDX CodeGuild capstone project.
League of Legends is a video game played, typically, between two teams of 5 people. The goal of the game is to fight the other team and to destroy their base. There are over 120 champions (playable characters) in the game and each of them can be configured many, many different ways. Knowing more about your opponents and your team can help you to play better and win more games.
My app provides current game information about both the skill level of your opponents and the champions they playing as well as how that champion is configured.
To use Patrick's LoL App simply enter a League of Legends summoner name into the box on the home page. If that player is currently playing a game you will be taken to the dashboard where game data is displayed. Click any player to get more detailed info.

The root directory of this repository contains a "Requirements file", requirements.txt.
To set up the environment required to run this web app first install python, virtualenv and virtualenv wrapper.
Type the following command to create a virtual environment using python 3.4:
$ mkvirtualenv <env name> -ppython3.4
Activate the virtual environment.
$ workon <env name>
Install all of the required packages.
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
On GitHub, navigate to the project repo, click fork to create a personal copy, and then use this guide to clone your forked copy to your local computer.
Go to the Riot API Getting Started page and follow the instructions to create an account and to get your API key.
Create a file called secrets.py. The only line in this file should be:
API_KEY = 'Put your API Key here (leave the quotes)'
Copy the secrets file into the the two directories below:
- lolapp/
- lolapp/api_query/fixtures
Create a postgres user and a database for the app. The default database name is lolappdb. If you use a name other than lolappdb change the database section of lolapp/lolapp/settings.txt.
Once the database has been established run the following terminal commands from the root of directory of your fork to populate the database.
$ python api_query/fixtures/generate_fixtures.py
$ python manage.py loaddata all_fix.json
From the repo's root directory (/lolapp/) run the following command to launch this web app.
$ python3 manage.py runserver
