For statistic purposes of games won/lost/draw and total this project uses a CRUD Node.JS server.
Create a folder using your cli with the command:

mkdir nodeserver

Navigate to the folder and run the following commands:

npm i
npm i express

npm i axios

For documentation on dependencies follow the links: Axios Cors Body-Parser Express
Create a new file and name it "server.js".
Using macOS cli

echo file > server.js

Add the following code to the file:

const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const port = 3000;

const cors = require("cors");
app.use(cors());

var bodyParser = require("body-parser");
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

let gameData = {
  won: 0,
  houseWon: 0,
  totalgames: 0,
  draw: 0,
};

app.get("/gamedata", (req, res) => {
  console.log("getting Data");
  console.log(gameData);
  res.send(gameData);
});

app.post("/gamedata", (req, res) => {
  console.log("posting data");
  gameData = req.body;
  console.log(req.body);
});

app.post("/updatehousewon", (req, res) => {
  gameData.houseWon++;
  gameData.totalgames++;
  console.log(gameData);
});

app.post("/updatewon", (req, res) => {
  gameData.won++;
  gameData.totalgames++;
  console.log(gameData);
});

app.post("/updatedraw", (req, res) => {
  gameData.draw++;
  gameData.totalgames++;
  console.log(gameData);
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Node server is running on ${port}`);
