Critter is developed with Aurelia, a next generation JavaScript framework that uses the latest JavaScript standards like ECMAScript 2016.

Aurelia uses the NodeJS Java Script Runtime.

Development was done with JetBrains Webstorm

NodeJs and npm must be installed on your PC. With npm you can install the aurelia cli tools to start development

npm install aurelia-cli -g

Clone this repository and

npm install

from the project root directory.

Start and run the aurelia app with

au run --watch

In order to actually register, log in and use features of the app you will also need my api found here along with its mongodb database. The path to the api is defined under /src/services/fixtures.js

In critter you can:

• Log in and register
• Make a tweet of a maximum length of 140 characters
• See the tweets of all users in a global timeline
• Follow certain users and find them quickly in a list of all users you ae following
• See the tweet timeline of only one user
• Delete your own tweets and edit your account data (password, name and email)

There is also a functionality for administrators (users with "admin": true attribute in the db) that allows them to:

• Delete any tweet from any user
• Reset the password of any user in case they lose it
• Mass delete all tweets of a single user
• Completely remove one user from Critter
