Gatehouse: Authentication Monitor

Installation

• Install vagrant on your PC. You can get it from https://www.vagrantup.com/
• Install GIT. You can get that from https://git-scm.com/ if you don't already have it.
• git clone https://github.com/sj4nes/gatehouse.git
• cd gatehouse
• vagrant up
• Browse to http://127.0.0.1:3080/ after Vagrant completes provisioning MongoDB, runs the build/quality pipeline with NPM and starts the server.

The Quality Pipeline

• npm run quality will in turn run an npm run quality:lint and an npm run quality:unit-tests stage.
• The quality:lint stage uses tslint which will really drive you up the wall with complaints that later help your team save time fighting with commit messages over certain kinds of formatting.
• The quality:unit-test stage then uses Facebook Jest to run tests against the system. One thing I like to do is run "fitness" tests against the environment that blow up--these are better than assuming that npm installed enough of the required modules but not as great as continuous deployment with automated environment construction. If you have never used vagrant before, you just used it. When the "fitness" tests pass Jest has shown you that the environment the system is running in will support it.
