Key Dash is an application that allows programmers to practice and improve their typing speed. It is a more built out version of an MVP project I made called Typr. The code style is inspired by John Papa's AngularJS Style Guide

Front-end:

• Angular
• Jade Partials
• Stylus
• Chart.js
• Gulp tasks for js/css builds

Back-end:

• Express
• MongoDB
• Bluebird
• Passport
• Jade templating

Exercises

Exercises for this application are contained in exercise_files, When the app server is started, createDefaultExercises() is called and if the exercises collection is empty, the database will be seeded with the contents of the respective directory.

• Currently this application supports exercises in either ruby, javascript, or python. File extensions will become the language property.

  .js --> "JavaScript"
  .py --> "Python"
  .rb --> "Ruby"
  

• Filenames are expected to be in spinal-case, the filename will be split into words at each dash, and each word will be capitalized to form a title.

  exercise-title --> "Exercise Title"
  

• File contents are stored under the contents property

Example:

Filename: key-dash-exercise.py

Contents:

print "Hello World"

After seeding the database, this file would be stored in a mongo document like so:

{
  fileName: 'Key Dash Exercise',
  language: 'Python',
  contents: 'print "Hello World"'
}

Users

User Authentication/Authorization is implemented using a Passport local strategy. Authenticated users have the ability to recored their exercise scores.

An authenticated users will see a dashboard view on the index route, displaying a line graph of their progress thus far.
