F1 Fantasy Team Manager

Problem Statement:

Currently, the official Formula 1 Fantasy Sports website (https://fantasy.formula1.com/) does not support the creation of true fantasy teams with drivers and constructors that are not part of F1 in real life. In my opinion, this severely limits the possibilities a fantasy sports application can offer to its users. The official website also limits the number of drivers per fantasy team at the arbitrary number of 5.

Solution Statement:

To solve this problem, I created a webapp that lets users create brand-new drivers and constructors from scratch, and add them to their fantasy teams which are stored long-term in a MySQL database. TypeORM is the ORM Solution used for the project. The backend of this webapp is built using Node.js, Express, and Typescript. The frontend of this webapp is built using React and Typescript. This application is meant to serve as a base on top of which an entirely new fantasy sports website could be built, one with possible functionality to simulate seasons of fantasy f1 detached from the real-life series.

User:

The typical users that would find my webapp useful are Formula 1 Fans that would like to have a convenient way to create and maintain partially or completely fictional fantasy teams which drivers or constructors that may also be fictional. They have a first name, a last name, a username, password, email, and a date of birth. Shares a one-to-many relationship with fantasy teams.

Domain Objects:-

1. Fantasy Team: A fantasy F1 team consisting of any number of drivers and a single constructor. Shares a many-to-one relationship with users, a many-to-one relationship with constructors, and a many-to-many relationship with drivers. They have a name, budget, constructor, and any number of drivers.

2. Constructor: A real or fictional F1 team that has one or multiple drivers under contract, and can be related to many fantasy teams. Shares a one-to-many relationship with drivers and a one-to-many relationship with fantasy teams. They have a name, color, nationality, value, and any number of drivers.

3. Driver: Athletes who are under contract by a constructor but have no restrictions as to which or how many fantasy teams they can be a part of. Shares a many-to-one relationship with constructors and many-to-many relationship with fantasy teams. They have a name, nationality, value, are part of only one constructor, and part of any number of fantasy teams.
