This is a simple lineman app that we use to practice some of the concepts of TDD in Javascript. We often use it to highlight some of the difficulties that you might encounter when you need to test around a third party API that you do not directly control.
This app contains no modern UI frameworks; your task is not to install a new framework like React but rather to work within the constraints that are given.
Install the Node Version Manager. Mac users can use Homebrew:
brew install nvm
In the terminal type:
brew info nvm
Copy the following lines from your terminal into your shell profile(bash_profile, bashrc, zshrc, etc...):
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" ] && . "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[ -s "/usr/local/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion" ] && . "/usr/local/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion
After saving the changes you will then need to reload your terminal. Navigate to the root of this directory and run:
nvm use
nvm install
npm install
Note that "nvm" controls the version of NodeJS that you are using while "npm" manages packages under that specific version.
Tests are written with Jasmine and run with testem. You can find sample specs in spec/environment-controller-spec.js.
Run the continuous test suite with npm test. This will start a continuous tester but will not automatically recompile the javascript on changes. For that you should open a second terminal and simultaneously run npm start.
Start the app with npm start. It will be running on localhost:8000.
If you want to run the app in a production-like state (i.e. clean, build, and run on express.js), you can use the command npm run production.
The app uses underscore templates which are found in app/templates and loaded into the JST object. You can look at app/js/environment-controller.js to see how it works and at the Lineman docs for specifics.
