GENERAL

This is a MEAN stack app without the A(ngular). It is the API for modwatch. It is fairly simple, just taking in JSON from the uploader, storing it at mongolab, and serving it out via API routes.

The general shape of the API is taking in data through /loadorder, which is only hit by the uploader. This route takes username, password, some descriptive fields, and file contents from Skyrim mod files as arrays. This is stored in MongoDB. The data is retrieved by the frontend site, which will pull anything from user profile data (types of files, username, last upload timestamp) to actual file data. All API routes are open, all data is available.
