This is a project I completed as a student at Hack Reactor. This project was worked on with a pair. During the project we built a chat client consuming some parse API. The final client app has been refactored with various libraries/frameworks, from jQuery, to Backbone and ES6.

The repository consist of

• jQuery app
• backbone app
• backbone ES6 app
• test Specs files.

The app allows the user to chose rooms and fetch/post messages from and to a parse based API backend.

The project rely on bower for managing external libraries and dependencies, so be sure to first:

bower install

to run it, simply open ./client/index<type>.html with your browser. In particular:

• ./client/indexJQuery.html
• ./client/indexBacknone.html
• ./client/indexBacknoneES6.html

Make sure to have a valid config.js inside the env folder.

The specrunner contain both the tests for the client

Some code may be written in ES6 and may require to be transpiled in order to be tested.

ES6 enabled on chrome chrome://flags/#enable-javascript-harmony. Babeljs.io for transipiling.

Tests are made with the Mocha testing framework. Test are located in the ./spec directory. To run the Just open the spec runner file with chrome.
