A webapp that instantly shows you your app's underperforming keywords in the App Store.
- Clone this repo.
- Run npm install
- run nodemon app.js in your terminal
Frontend: jQuery, D3.js, Bootstrap
This app uses QUnit for testing, and the tests are divided into two parts:
- Functional tests
- UI tests
The tests runs automatically and are displayed in the browser at the paths '/tests/tests.html' and '/tests/ui_tests.html'.
The functions have been laid out so the app completes each task in the correct order. Due to node's asynchronous nature we had to be careful that the app did not get ahead of itself at any stage and try and execute functions too early. After all the initial steps are completed (choosing device, app, keywords etc.) the user gets the opportunity to reveice their 'Keyword King Report' in their inbox. The flow for the email feature goes as follows:
User clicks the 'submit button' in their browser The 'save' function in model.js is invoked. This saves the payload into the database. Then the 'fetchId' function in model.js is called. This fishes out the ID that MongoDB automatically assigns its documents. Next, the 'takeScreenShot' function in screenshot.js is invoked. This makes use of the Webshot module and points it at a URL that is dynamically created using the mongoDB ID fetched from the database. It is on this unique URL that the report is generated. Once the screnshot of the report is done, we invoke the 'sendEmail' function in mandrill.js. This attaches the screenshot to the email and then sends it to the user's email address.
As you can see, if the tasks aren't completed in this exact order, the app would collapse into a useless heap.
