Microscope + React + FlowRouter + Tests = Microreact

I wanted to learn React with Meteor by building something. So I decided to rebuild [Microscope] (https://github.com/DiscoverMeteor/Microscope), the app with which I learned Meteor. [Microscope] (https://github.com/DiscoverMeteor/Microscope) is an app that someone can build by reading the [Discover Meteor Book] (http://www.discovermeteor.com). In this version I rebuilt the app until chapter 10-5 and you can find a dome here. You can find a dome at Microreact.

Except from integrating React and Meteor I wanted to learn how to write tests for my applications. So in this repo you will find 60 tests, 13 unit tests, 6 integration and 41 end-to-end. I used [xolvio:cucumber] (https://atmospherejs.com/xolvio/cucumber) for end-to-end tests and sanjo:jasmine for integration and unit tests. I tried to explain every line of code into my tests.

If you want to run the app download the repo

$ git clone https://github.com/mstamos/microreact.git

$ cd microreact

If you want to run only integration and unit test just run meteor into command line and you will see the green dot from velocity on right-top corner

$ meteor

If you want to run the end-to-end test you can do it by typing and enjoy the view from new browser!

$ CUCUMBER_TAGS=@rerun meteor

Below you will find all the resources I used to learn writing tests.
