Server Side PhP -> NodeJS

[alexmorley]

The server side is quite simple at the moment. It basically just receives the code of conduct in HTML and coverts it into various formats by calling Pandoc.

It'd be nice to re-write this bit using Javascript. That should also mean we can remove the need for docker to run a test instance.

Here's a mini-roadmap:

• creating an express.js app
• moving the current folder structure to fit in with a standard express project
• call something like child_process.spawn( $pandoc_command )
• that's it?
