CSC 583 Final Project

Non-functional Requirements

This project utilizes the design and tools analysis performed by the class earlier this semester to save time. Thus, a MEVN stack will be used for this final project.

For testing, Jest will be used for unit testing technology. Detailed analysis may be found here. Jest is used by the Facebook team and that is plenty good enough for me. The syntax for writing "expects" tests is also intuitive and Jest is supported by the vue-cli tool used to instantiate this project, and thus it is already pre-configured and bundled.

Installation

# install dependencies
npm install

# serve with hot reload at localhost:8080
npm run dev

# build for production with minification
npm run build

# build for production and view the bundle analyzer report
npm run build --report

Testing

# run unit tests
npm run unit

# run e2e tests
npm run e2e

# run all tests
npm test

Architecture

The stack, from the bottom-up, includes:

MongoDB (database)
NodeJS (web server and execution environment)
ExpressJS (API)
VueJS (front-end)

Data is stored in the database according to defined data models, Express exposes a number of API endpoints to make data CRUD easy and safe for the front-end, and VueJS is used for a reactive single-page application (SPA) which calls the API. Of course, NodeJS is the environment in which all of this is run and served.
