Cake Form

Simple HTML form for ordering a cake, complete

Getting Started

• Node v5 or greater is required
• npm install to install all dependencies, then,
• npm start to serve the site immediately on localhost:3000.
• npm test to lint the Javascripts and run unit tests.

Dependencies

This project has no run-time dependencies, and minimal amount of dependencies used for development.

• Gulp is used as a task runner behind the scenes, exposed through npm start
  • gulp-rename renames the output files with friendlier names
  • gulp-stylus is our stylesheet preprocessor
  • serve-static and finalhandler are used to serve the site and static files
• ESLint is used as the linter to ensure our Javascript conforms to a standard
  • eslint-config-airbnb-base provides the linting standard, from AirBNB (which requires eslint-plugin-import even though we don't use it)
• Ava is for our tests.
  • JSDOM is used to set up a DOM-like environment under Node so we can run our application code and tests without requiring a full browser.
  • In hindsight, this might not have been the best idea - it does end up being a bit awkward to 'restart' the page before each test. Perhaps a headless browser (like CasperJS) would have been better.
