Clicking on any of the the thumbnail images will open up the modal and allow for cycling through the full-size images.

Testing

Tests have been split into two categories: front-end and back-end. Both categories of tests use Jest as the test runner, mocking, and assertion library.

Front-end tests have also been written with Enzyme for additional testing utility. The first time you run the front-end tests, Jest will create snapshots and corresponding folder within /spec/client/ for you. Run the front-end tests with the following command:

$ npm run-script test:client

Back-end tests have also been written with SuperTest for endpoint testing. Run the back-end tests with the following command:

$ npm run-script test:server
