BRAID v1.3.1

Websocket server for the Measure platform

Essential Information:

braid uses mocha (test framework), chai (BDD/TDD assertion library), sinnon (spies, stubs, and mocks), nyc (code coverage calculator) for our unit testing. Get aquainted with these packages to have a smooth unit testing experience.
for schema management/validation, braid uses joi.
For web sockets braid uses ws
braid uses typescript for our primary code development because of it's opinionated type management among other things. Get a good understanding of what typescript is, it's benifits, drawbacks, and dev flow

install npm
install typescript globally (npm i -g typescript). This is important because it is needed to transpile, so you can run your changes locally (using command tsc)
run npm install
download the braid repo into a folder in the same directory as the primary yardstick folder
to test your changes before pushing you can run tsc && npm test
to check code coverage run nyc npm test, we must maintain above 90% code coverage
