Let Me Explain It

What is it?

A web HTML5 web conferencing application built for my final year university project

Available at: http://letmeexplain.it

Which allows users to:

• Collaborate in real time through interactive tools
• Communicate via voice and chat

Why?

I did this project to:

• Experiment with HTML5
• Get experience with real time apps in browsers
• Attempt a native implementation without resources such as Flash and Java

What is it built with?

• AngularJS
• NodeJS + Express
• Websockets for conferencing data
• WebRTC using the vLine library for voice data
• MySQL

Installation Instructions

1. Get a copy of the repo
2. Import the database schema from schema.sql into your MySQL server
3. Set up the config.js file by following the config_example.js file
4. If you're configuring it to not run in debug mode, deploy the client side code using the Grunt task in the angular_build folder
5. Start the server by typing node app.js in the server folder

Unit Testing

The unit test coverage is not amazing, but I'm working on it.

Currently all AngularJS controllers are fully tested, to run those tests, install karma-cli and install the dependencies in the public/tests folder using npm install.

Proceed to run the tests by typing karma start in the public/tests folder

For server side unit testing, mocha is used and the tests are ran through a grunt file. Install mocha and head into the server/tests/ folder and type Grunt in your terminal/cmd to run these tests.

ENJOY YOUR CONFERENCING!!
