Uses Node to Sort Email Files to remove duplicates

Duplicate Sorter

Sorts out duplicates of email addresses.

++ Dependencies: [email protected]

Start server:

node duplicateSorter.js or npm start (you need to set your environment variables as well)

This now sorts emails based on a baseline expected to exist within a database - in this case MongoDB. After starting, go to

go to: http://localhost:8888/

You are given a choice of 4 different forms.

Check emails from a file: This checks all emails in file, if it does not exist, prints it on the screen

Check a single email address: checks a single email only

add a SINGLE user: adds a single email

add emails from a file: adds a list of emails.

check all emails for a particular template

If the email already exists in baseline, then it prepends: 'Duplicate' to the entry and adds to the 'duplicates.txt' file

NOTE: after EACH file submission, test.txt and duplicates.txt is only appended.

TESTS: Run 'mocha' Known Issue, does not terminate at end. must be missing a 'done' somewhere.

future considerations:

• (done) add DB support
• add support for additional fields in addition to email (now supports adding a reference 'template name')
• cleanup button names, labels, instructions
• add more info on required format of input files
• [bug] remove quotes from 'all emails' option
• change emaillist check to also give back list of match existing but not for template. (currently does give 100% no match)
• selecting file from any location

• retrieve emails without flagged ones
• flag emails from a file rather than just individually

Meant to run locally -- probably overkill but wanted to use it as a starter to try out other technologies - Mocha, Chai... (currently using Mocha for testing)

Adding to confirm GitHub set up is working
