This project is for the zendesk coding challenge to view all the tickets in my account. This project uses both node.js, to connect to the Zendesk API, and Angular to display the data from the API.

To run this program make sure you have the latest versions of the following software installed.

• Node.js

Also, in order to connect to the Zendesk API you will need a .env file. I should have provided you with this file when submitted, but if you do not have one, please let me know and I can provide it to you. This file should belong in the root folder of the repository.

Once you have these prerequisites, you can fork or clone this repo and start running the app.

Open the command terminal and go to the root directory of the repository and install necessary dependencies.
Run npm install to install the dependencies for the node server.

Run npm run dev for a dev server of the node server. Navigate to http://localhost:3080/ to see the server running.

I have not set up a production server for this project

If you experience any issues, check the potential issues section to hopefully help you solve any issues you are experiencing

Open the command terminal and move into the zendesk-ticket-app directory to run the app by using the following command:

cd zendesk-ticket-app

Run npm install to install all the necessary dependencies for the angular server.

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

You can also run ng serve --open to automatically open a window to http://localhost:4200/.

I have not set up a production server for this project.

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory.

To run tests on the angular server make sure you are in the zendesk-ticket-app directory. Run ng test in the zendesk-ticket-app directory to execute the unit tests via Karma.

To see the code coverage of the angular server, after running ng test, it will create a coverage directory in the zendesk-ticket-app. In this dirctory is an index.html file that you can open with a live server. ng test will also display a code summary in the terminal

I have not set up unit tests for the node server at this time.

If you experience an authentication error, make sure you have the .env file as I have mentioned before. If you do not have one, be sure to contact me and I will provide you with the .env file.

If you experience an http error response (status 0), then make sure you have the node server running. See Running the Node Server
