# Calendar Merger Project
## Overview
The Calendar Merger project is a web application that allows users to merge multiple calendars into a single calendar. It provides a simple and intuitive interface for users to:
- Add calendars
- Specify prefixes for each calendar
- Override event summaries if desired
The application also generates a unique URL for the merged calendar and updates it every hour using a cron job.
## Features
- Merge multiple calendars into a single calendar
- Specify prefixes for each calendar
- Optionally override event summaries
- Generate a unique URL for the merged calendar
- Automatically update the merged calendar every hour
## Requirements
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (version 14 or higher)
- [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) (included with Node.js)
## Installation
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone git@forge.ftt.gmbh:ryanmwangi/CalMerger.git
```
2. Install the dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
3. Start the server:
```bash
npm start
```
## Building and Running with Docker
### 1. Build the Docker Image
Run the following command to build the Docker image:
```bash
docker build -t calmerger-app .
```
### 2. Run the Docker Container
To start the container, use:
```bash
docker run -d --name calmerger -p 3000:3000 calmerger-app
```
This maps the container's port `3000` to the host system's port `3000`. The application will be accessible at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
### 3. Using Docker Compose (Optional)
If you prefer to use Docker Compose, ensure you have a `docker-compose.yml` file in your project directory. Then, run:
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
This will automatically build and start the container based on the configuration in the `docker-compose.yml` file.
### 4. Stopping the Docker Container
To stop the running container, use:
```bash
docker stop calmerger
```
To remove the container:
```bash
docker rm calmerger
```
## Running Tests
This project uses [Jest](https://jestjs.io/) for testing to ensure the Calendar Merger works as expected.
### Run the test suite:
```bash
npm test
```
Jest will automatically locate and execute all test files, providing pass/fail status and error details in your terminal.
For additional insights, you can run tests in coverage mode:
```bash
npm test -- --coverage
```
This generates a `coverage` report, showing how much of the codebase is tested.
