Assignment Background
In this assignment, you will develop a web application that will allow players to receive
cards from a collectible card game and trade those cards amongst their friends. The
card data used for this assignment is taken from the game Hearthstone. This is the
same data used in tutorial #8 a description of the structure of the data is provided at
the end of this document. A database-initializer.js file has been provided that will
create an empty ‘a5’ database in MongoDB and add each card to a ‘cards’ collection.
Note that the initializer will also delete any information in the ‘a5’ database. Each
user that registers for your web application will maintain their own set of cards and their
own set of friends. Friends within the application will be able to view each other’s cards
and propose/accept trades with each other. All data your server uses for this
assignment (cards, user profiles, session data, etc.) must be persistent. Your server
should be able to be restarted at any point and all the data should still be present.
