JOWN Prototyping

J.O.W.N. - Just Our Workflow Notation

This is the prototyping repository for prototyping various behavior and learning the technologies in a sandbox environment for usage in the actual project codebase.

Setup

Prereq: Node.js & NPM are installed and are added to the path.

You should have access to some bash terminal for the following commands.

Clone the Git repository.

git clone git@github.com:arpitshah101/JOWN.git

Install the following global dependencies:

npm install -g bower gulp typescript tslint typings

Install all the local npm dependencies.

npm install

Install all the type definitions for TypeScript.

typings install

Technologies Used so far

1. TypeScript
   • For backend code to provide typechecking despite ultimately being compiled to JavaScript.
2. Gulp
   • Task automation
   • Used to automate build from src folder to dest folder with compiled JavaScript
3. Mongoose
   • ORM (Object Relational Mapping) for models to be saved into MongoDB (and provides query language)
4. Mocha --> Chai
   • Automated test framework for JavaScript
   • To be used on backend for sure
   • Possibly used for automated tests on the web components provided as a part of the Polymer Element Catalog
