Project for the coding assignment.

The project contains both the fake backend and the frontend. I pushed the backend because I needed to tweak it a bit in order to make it return appropriate CORS headers without whom I couldn't make requests from a frontend running on another port. I also slightly slowed down artificially some of the endpoints, to demonstrate how the loading spinner works.

• Move to folder backend.
• Install the dependencies with npm install.
• Run the server with npm start if you are in the backend folder, or with npm run start-backend if you are in the project root. The server binds by default to port 3000.

• Install the dependencies with npm install.
• Run the frontend server with npm start. The server binds by default to port 8000.

The provided gulpfile contains the build configuration to generate a distributable version of the app. More details can be found directly within the build script.

To build the app run npm run build. A dist folder will be generated with all the required files.

To run a frontend server that exposes the build app, use npm run start-dist. The server binds by default to port 8001.

The unit tests are found next to the code they are testing and have a .spec.js suffix (e.g. spinner.spec.js).

If you previously ran npm install, all the required dependencies will be already available.

To start Karma and run the full test suite run npm test.

End-to-End tests can be found under e2e-tests. If you previously ran npm install, all the required dependencies will be already available.

To start Protractor and run the full test suite:

• Install the webdriver with npm run update-webdriver.
• Ensure both the frontend and the backend servers are up and running.
• Run npm run protractor.

Note: Under the hood, Protractor uses the Selenium Standalone Server, which in turn requires the Java JDK to be installed on your local machine.

Note: I have deliberately written some of the test cases assuming this is a demo frontend project backed by a dummy server. For example, orders get cancelled but never created, which would breaks tests idempotency if the orders were really deleted.
