#Mars Rover Photo Viewer

A basic photo viewer driven by data from the Mars Rover Photo API

Building The Code

To build the code, follow these steps.

1. Ensure that NodeJS is installed. This provides the platform on which the build tooling runs.
2. It is preferable to build using yarn so please install this if possible. If you do not have access to yarn you can substitute npm in place of yarn in the instructions below
3. From the project folder, execute the following command:

  yarn install

4. To build the code, you can now run:

  yarn run build

5. You will find the compiled code in the dist folder. Copy the index.html and bundle.js file to a webserver to run.

Running The Tests

To run the unit tests, first ensure that you have followed the steps above in order to install all dependencies and successfully build the library. Once you have done that, proceed with these additional steps:

1. To run the tests without a test coverage report being generated

  yarn run test

2. To run the tests with a test coverage report being generated

 yarn run test-coverage

Coverage report can be found in the project directory under:

coverage/lcov-report/index.html

Running the app via webpack dev server

1. If you wish to develop this applciation further you will find it useful to run the app via the webpack dev server as it will allow you to "hot deploy" code changes

 yarn run serve
