remove-rails

A front-end data display coding exercise. This AngularJS app displays mock employee survey data using a front-end framework. After bootstrapping, the app attempts to load a list of surveys from /index.json. It then presents the list of available surveys to the user. The user may then select which set of survey results they'd like to view. The data from the selected survey are loaded from /survey_results/selected_survey.json upon request, processed, and presented on screen.

Each survey is divided into a number of themes, and each theme has multiple questions. The questions themselves may have different forms (perhaps a 'strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree' style, or binary 'yes/no', etc).

The app cycles through each theme and calls the appropriate function to process the data for each question type. Since each question type will have a different data structure (after all, there's no point displaying the average of a 'yes/no' question), the view then steps through the processed data and selects the required mark-up template to display the results of each question.

The fact that the mock data contain only one question type is completely beside the point ;)

Running the app

  • Clone the repo.
  • Open a terminal and navigate to the app/ directory within the project folder.
  • Launch python simple HTTP server using path/to/remove-rails/app $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer
  • Point your browser to localhost:8000
  • Have fun!

Running the test suite

The test suite consists of unit tests and end-to-end tests written using the Jasmine test framework. Unit tests are run using the Karma test runner and end-to-end tests are run using Protractor. Both test against Chrome and Firefox.

First:

  • Make sure you have Node.js >= v5 installed
  • Make sure you have Chrome and Firefox installed
  • Open a terminal and navigate to the project folder
  • $ npm install

Then:

Running the unit tests

  • $ node ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start

Running the end-to-end tests

  • Serve the app at localhost:8000 (see above)
  • Open a new terminal tab at the project folder
  • $ node ./node_modules/.bin/webdriver-manager update
  • $ node ./node_modules/.bin/webdriver-manager start
  • Open another terminal tab at the project folder
  • $ node ./node_modules/.bin/protractor protractor.conf.js
