This is a tech test for Financial Times. I will build a website that asks for and stores a simple rating score for using ft.com. This website will be will hosted on Heroku .

As a user
So that I can share my experience of using ft.com
I'd like to rate the website

As a user
So that I can see the popularity of ft.com
I'd like to see all the ratings

• Build a website
• Store the Rating
• Host on cloud
• Diagram of the site architecture

• Templated infrastructure as code
• Automated testing
• Origami Components/FT look and feel
• The ability to view ratings/results

Local development of this FT rating web application assumes the following are already installed:

1. PostgreSQL database
2. npm and node

After you have cloned the repository, please run the below steps:

1. createdb ft_dev
2. createdb ft_test
3. export PG_USER=$(whoami)
4. export PG_PASSWORD=your_password
5. export NODE_ENV=development
6. knex migrate:latest --env development
7. knex migrate:latest --env test
8. npm test to run tests
9. node_modules/nodemon/bin/nodemon.js --exec npm start to run the server

Please run the following commands in bash:

1. heroku create your-app
2. heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev
3. git push heroku master
4. heroku run knex migrate:latest --env production

1. Node JS
2. Express Web App Framework
3. Knex Postgres Query Builder
4. Mocha, Chai & Chai-HTTP for testing
5. Nodemon for auto-reload
6. Istanbul Code Coverage via nyc

If I had more time, I would have looked into implementing the below:

1. Currently my devlopment setup assumes the presence of user reena and database ft_dev. It would be good to have these configurable (via environment variables?) so that anyone can clone and run the tests/play around with the setup.
2. End to end Browser UI testing (across browser versions/variantions) using Nightwatchjs
3. Beautifying the application UI
