Second assignment

Given in 7th Oct 2014, to be returned by 28th Oct 2014

Extend your existing project which was created in the first assignment.

Given that your application is triggered via command line as required in the first assignment, now separate the functionality so that it can be used programmatically.

The entry point of the application, as described in package.json with the main property, this script will be able to use the separate custom modules by requiring them. In a same way these custom modules are used for unit tests.

This assignment has the following tasks:

  • Before starting, tag the project with a release v0.1.0 which should fulfill the requirements of the first assignment

  • Add a task runner, such as Grunt or gulp to your project for linting and for running unit tests

  • Add unit testing, by using a suitable library of your choosing

  • Both linting and unit tests should be able to be run with a command npm test

  • These tests are executed automatically on every push by a continuous integration service, such as Travis CI or Wercker

  • The README.md should display a badge showing the current state of those tests

  • Start planning how to create a task runner plugin of your project, so other could use it via task runner,

    and write about in README.md and also include it in a release plan

  • Once the assignment is ready to be returned, tag is as a new release v0.2.0

Example projects that have both command line and programmatic usage available. Please note that much more exists and you are free to take example from anywhere else. The following two have pretty much the similar structure:
