Installing

The default settings allow you to run it with the database hosted on my server. ###Own database: To run your own DB, set up a MySQL server and import techtest/techtest.sql. Configure access credentials in db.js, this line:

connString = "mysql://techtest:zzraELJXa9nDUjGV@108.61.173.171:3306/techtest";

Format: protocol://user:password@host:port/database

Running

npm install
./run.sh

To stop the server, ./kill.sh

Running tests

Mocha needs to be installed globally sudo npm install mocha -g then run mocha

Bugs

• Skill lookups are case-sensitive; this requires a change of ORM
• Skills can't be numbers (I don't think anyone needs that, but still)
• Minor hiccups on the skills/postcode inputs -- need to be ironed out

Tech

• node.js - evented I/O for the backend
• Twitter Bootstrap - UI boilerplate
• Express - fast node.js network app framework
• Mocha - testing framework
• jQuery

Todo

• Write carer registration tests (need fixtures)
• jslint checklist
