Fish tank simulation

Node.js server-side simulation of an fishTank

Install

You need Node.js and npm from https://nodejs.org/

npm install

Test

npm test

Note: if a timeout occurs the first time the tests are run, try running again one more time. The timeout shouldn't occur a second time. If it does, maybe something is wrong indeed.

Run locally in Development

npm start

Browse http://localhost:8080

Deploy to Production

Any Node.js hosting will do, but I recommend free hosting, easy to deploy service "now", from https://zeit.co/

npm install -g now

You can deploy as many versions, each deployment is unique and kept published forever, for free.

now --public

Browse https://fish-tank-simulation-[UNIQUE_KEY].now.sh where [UNIQUE_KEY] is generated during the deployment in your terminal.

Note: If you never installed now before, the first time you do an e-mail challenge will run to setup a token on your machine. If that happens, run now --public again to deploy.

You can see what you have deployed on https://zeit.co/dashboard/deployments - The free tier of https://zeit.co/ currently allows for up to 3 concurrent deployment. It's possible to remove previous deployments and make room for new ones to stay in the free tier.
