Vantz Stockwell 98a1792106 Add Dune Awakening character builder + initial project scaffolding
- character-builder/: Vue 3 + NestJS + Valkey app for planning house, class,
  character XP, 5 spec tracks, faction standing, and skill trees. Shareable
  via short link (POST /api/builds → 8-char nanoid).
- character-builder/data/: parsed JSON tables (character XP through L200,
  5 specs to L100, 2 faction standing tables, 5 class skill trees).
- character-builder/scripts/extract.py: parser that regenerates data/*.json
  from the gitignored sample-data/*.html snapshots.
- Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml: two-container deploy (app + Valkey).
- specialization-calculator/: pre-existing single-file XP/quest calculator,
  carried into the repo.

Dune Awakening — Character Builder

Plan your character across House, Class, Character XP, Specializations, Faction Standing, and Skill Trees. Shareable via short link.

Stack

  • Frontend: Vue 3 + Vite + TypeScript
  • Backend: NestJS (Node 22, TypeScript)
  • Storage: Valkey (Redis-compatible) for build sharing
  • Data: extracted from ../sample-data/*.html into ./data/*.json via scripts/extract.py

Two containers: app (NestJS serving the SPA + API) and valkey. Wire-up in docker-compose.yml.

Run

docker compose up --build

Then open http://localhost:8080.

Update data

If you save new HTML snapshots into ../sample-data/, re-run the extractor:

uv run python3 scripts/extract.py

This regenerates ./data/*.json, which the container picks up on next build.

API

  • POST /api/builds — body is a build payload (any JSON ≤16 KB). Returns { code } (8-char URL-safe id).
  • GET /api/builds/:code — returns { code, build }.
  • GET /api/data/:file — serves the static JSON tables (allow-listed).

Builds are stored in Valkey with a rolling 1-year TTL (refreshed on each fetch), so popular shared builds don't expire.

Dev (without Docker)

In two terminals:

# backend
cd backend && npm install && VALKEY_URL=redis://localhost:6379 npm run start:dev

# frontend
cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev

The Vite dev server proxies /api/* to localhost:3000.
