Hyde

Hyde is the first paired project in Module 1 at the Turing School. Students build a lightweight application for blogging that provides a file structure and templates for users to make posts and pages in easy-to-read markdown language.

Project Spec

Getting Started:

• Clone this project by running git clone https://github.com/JaredRoth/hyde.git
• Run bundle
• To create a new file structure, run bin/hyde new /file_path/
• To create a new post, run bin/hyde post /file_path/ "name of your post"
• Edit the provided markdown files or any posts you create
• To build your project into functional html, run bin/hyde build /file_path/.
• Alternately, you can record changes as you make them and be reminded to build afterward. To do so run bin/hyde watch /file_path/ (# of minutes)

'new' makes this structure:

.
├── _output
└── source
    ├── css
    │   └── main.css
    ├── index.markdown
    ├── pages
    │   └── about.markdown
    └── posts
        └── 2016-02-20-welcome-to-hyde.markdown

'build' makes the following structure:

Calling 'build' will read all files from the source directory and copy them over the the _output directory. In this process, it will automatically convert any markdown files it encounters into html.

.
├── _output
│   ├── css
│   │   └── main.css
│   ├── index.html
│   ├── pages
│   │   └── about.html
│   └── posts
│       └── 2016-02-20-welcome-to-hyde.html
└── source
    ├── css
    │   └── main.css
    ├── index.markdown
    ├── pages
    │   └── about.markdown
    └── posts
        └── 2016-02-20-welcome-to-hyde.markdown

Learning Goals

• Use tests to drive both the design and implementation of code
• Decompose a large application into components
• Use test fixtures instead of actual data when testing
• Connect related objects together through references
• Learn an agile approach to building software
