hal

A TODO app with React, Flux, and HAL

Running

You must have nodejs installed on your computer. From the root project directory run these commands from the command line:

npm install

This will install all dependencies.

To build and run the project, run this command:

gulp

To execute the unit test run:

npm test

Dependencies

The implementation uses:

• HALSON to deal with HAL
• Express to implement a Web Server and REST API
• Underscore to aid with functional programming
• Gulp to build the project and run the server
• Browserify to 'require' modules in the browser
• Reactify to transform JSX into JS
• Watchify to listen to changes in the code and re-run the build process
• Jest for unit testing

Notes

• Due to time constraints only the backend server was implemented using CoffeeScript.
• Unit testing is not exhaustive, its intention is to showcase the practice.
• The REST API responds to all Post requests with the full list of up to date TODOs. This was done for simplicity but it wont be a well performing implementation for a real application, nor a proper implementation of REST (eg: a post request to modify a particular TODO should return the affected object, not the whole list).
