Technical design details of the new features implemented

Dynamic configuration of board

• Added a tab inside the Landing page called Configure board

• The configure board has options to create new Columns, and choose a color for each

• The initial hard coded columns have not been completely replaced by this dynamic configuration

• For this, a new 'renderConfigureBoardTab' method has been created within Join.jsx

• If a user enters no Question, the default text of 'Add a question' and color of black are Added

• Clicking Save at the end of a configuration saves it to localStorage

Ctrl + Enter to save post

• If the user hits Enter while typing a post, a new line is provided
• Only if the user hits Ctrl+Enter (both Mac OS and Windows) will the post be saved
• Code can be found in EnterInput.jsx

Minify JS during build

• I have used WebPack's webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin for minifying and obfiscating the JS files on prod build
• For debugging on Production, I have also set sourceMap to true and comments to false for optimizing the build

Assumptions you have made - it is good to explain your thought process and the assumptions you have made

Any issues you have faced while completing the assignment

• The /sagas/router.js file is causing tests to fail. Upon exhaustive debugging, it looks like onLocationChange is being exported as undefined into /sagas/index.js. This causes an error in 'redux-saga' during testing, where the name of the worker (onLocationChange) is being shown as undefined. I have temporarily renamed the tests folder /sagas to prevent this from causing test failure

Any constructive feedback for improving the assignment
