This web application has been mode using Middleman, HAML, SCSS for styling and Javascript.
Test are in the form of basic Acceptance tests using RSpec.
Middleman was chosing because it is a light weight framework for building static web applications.

Deployed with Netlify and GitHub
To see the application locally, clone the source code from the Git repository Source code
In the terminal run bundle install to setup the application.
To get a local server running with the application run middleman server and visit http://localhost:4567/ in your browser.

/source contains the main website source files including Javascript and styling.
/source/javascripts/api.js contains the Javascript for fetching the data to display the series on the page.
/source/javascripts/content.js is responsible for fetching the data about each serie.
const proxyURL = 'https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/'; was used to solve problems with fetching and displaying the data from the API
/layouts contains the basic layout of the site. It uses partials located in /partials to render the header and footer of the site. The = yield renders the content of index.html.haml and other HAML-files in the /source directory
/stylesheets contain the styling for the site. For a better overview the styling is divided up into the partials maincontent.css.scss and series.css.scss and imported to all.css.scss
/spec/ contain the testing framework. The "spec"-files contains the tests and user_sees_content_on_landingpage contains basic User stories for builing the application
To see tests run rspec in your terminal from the root directory
Only the first serie "Grey's Anatomy" has a working info-page when clicking on the image. This is done just to illustrate the idea behind the application. In retrospective another framework should have been chosen (e.g. Ruby on Rails), to make it easier to show the information for each serie in a single view. For example not the have a view / html-file for each serie.
No navigation using arrowkeys was implemented.
