Magic the Gathering assignment – Instructions

Here we go. Your task is to build an interactive, hyperlinked rulebook application for a card game, of which rules are described in rules.txt.

When submitting your solution, your application must:

• Have a web frontend
• Include a Table of Contents with hyperlinks to chapters containing game rules. For instance, “100. General” is a chapter
• Display the selected chapter beside the Table of Contents, containing all rules in that chapter. For instance, “100.2a” is a rule
• Include a search box for filtering the rules displayed on the page, so that you can, for instance, type “commander” and find all rules that mention the word “commander”

Documentation

1. Regex statement will catch all rule according to their type. Ex:

• "1. Game Concepts" is chapter index.

chapter_index_regex = /\n(\d{1})\.\ .+/g

• "100. General" is chapter.

chapter_regex = /\n((\d{1})\d{2})\.\ .+/g

• "100.1. These Magic ..." is rule index.

rule_index_regex = /\n((\d{3})\.\d+)\..+/g

• "100.1a A two-player ..." is rule.

rule_regex = /\n(\d{3}\.\d+)+[a-z].+/g

2. Regex statement with capture group export its result to JSON. Ex:

• 1. Game Concepts - will have “1” captured as its number

chapter_index =
{
  number: "1", //use capture group 1
  name: "Game Concepts" //use capture group 0
}

• 100. General - will have “1” captured as chapter index number and “100” captured as it number

chapter =
{
  number: "100", //use capture group 1
  chapter_number: "1", //use capture group 2
  name: "General" //use capture group 0
}

• 100.1. These Magic rules ... - will have “100” captured as chapter number and “100.1” captured as its number

rule_index =
{
  number: "100.1", //use capture group 1
  chapter_number: "100", //use capture group 2
  name: "100.1. These Magic rules ..." //use capture group 0
}

• 100.1a A two-player game ... - will have “100.1” captured as rule index number

rule =
{
  rule_index_number: "100.1", //use capture group 1
  name: "100.1a A two-player game ..." //use capture group 0
}

3. Data get joined in SQL fashion using map and reduce, forming a JSON structure of the rulebook. Ex: rule_index and rule can be join by match rule_index.number and rule.rule_index_number.
