SnappetChallenge

This project fulfils the SnappetChallenge: where did my class work on today?

The challenge

Use the work.json or work.csv file to display to a teacher how the children in his or her class performed. Today is 2015-03-24 11:30:00 UTC. There is no time to do everything, make a choice.

Running the solution locally

Install MongoDB, e.g., via Chocolately:

choco install mongodb

Start the database server:

mongod --smallfiles

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/erooijak/SnappetChallenge

Change directory:

cd SnappetChallenge 

Import the documents into the database snappetchallenge_db:

mongoimport --jsonArray --db snappetchallenge_db --collection submitted_answers < Data/work.json

The application expects SubmitDateTime to be of type BsonDateTime. It is now a string. Convert it:

mongo localhost:27017/snappetchallenge_db convert.js

Start Visual Studio 2015 and open the solution. Wait till Bower and npm have restored the required packages and the Gulp tasks are loaded. Then run the application.
