Express Backend

The Express backend is a Node.js application that acts as a bridge between the Gamepatch system and external inputs. It receives data from various sources, processes it, and forwards it to Gamepatch for injection into Mastodon.

Key Features

  • API Gateway: Exposes endpoints for interacting with the Gamepatch system.
  • Data Parsing: Processes incoming data before passing it to the Gamepatch.
  • Modularity: Can be extended to support additional data sources or processing logic.

Configuration

The Express backend can be placed anywhere on your server. Make sure to set up environment variables in the .env file.

Next, learn about the Mastodon customizations that make TactCheck possible.
