This is a simple nodejs server for polling voting behaviour.
To run the server cd to the root directory of the project run "npm install" run "node index.js"
In a browser navigate to "http://localhost:3000"
This was built on the nodejs express framework. I ended up creating a sort of MVC pattern where each page has a controller and lists the views to display on the page. Each view is defined as a middleware function which collects and renders it's view widget and saves the html to the response. Views are defined in the 'views' directory. they have a js file and corresponding mustache template.
The basic data elements are defined in modules. The data for the constituencies came from the Guardian's data archive. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AonYZs4MzlZbdFNDWkpPam5ESVZlQnFhcXRpQlFVM2c#gid=0
Voting data unfortunately does not persist past server reloads as I ran out of time before setting up a mongoDB.
Also of Note is that I haven't had time to add client side styles and behaviors. I was hoping to at least add some client side form validation and hide the party options if the user is not going to vote.
Hopefully from this you can see my coding style. I try my best to keep it as clean and modular as possible as I find it makes changes much quicker and easier once the project is more mature.
I'm not sure this task showed off my strongest points as I'm much more of a client side developer and rarely need to setup the server side from scratch, but I tackled this as it looked like an interesting challenge and helped me to further understand the express.js web framework.
I have attached a few links to some of my other projects to the email if you would like to look at them as well.
