Katrina Owen 6151955420 Generate static exercise README templates 
We are working towards making exercises stand-alone. That is to say: no more generating READMEs on the fly.

This will give maintainers more control over each individual exercise README, and it will also make some of the backend logic for delivering exercises simpler.

The README template uses the Go text/template package, and the default templates generate the same READMEs as we have been generating on the fly.  See the documentation in [regenerating exercise readmes][regenerate-docs] for details.

The READMEs can be generated at any time using a new 'generate' command in configlet. This command has not yet landed in master or been released, but can be built from source in the generate-readmes branch on [configlet][].

README.md

Grade School

Given students' names along with the grade that they are in, create a roster for the school.

In the end, you should be able to:

  • Add a student's name to the roster for a grade
    • "Add Jim to grade 2."
    • "OK."
  • Get a list of all students enrolled in a grade
    • "Which students are in grade 2?"
    • "We've only got Jim just now."
  • Get a sorted list of all students in all grades. Grades should sort as 1, 2, 3, etc., and students within a grade should be sorted alphabetically by name.
    • "Who all is enrolled in school right now?"
    • "Grade 1: Anna, Barb, and Charlie. Grade 2: Alex, Peter, and Zoe. Grade 3…"

Note that all our students only have one name. (It's a small town, what do you want?)

For bonus points

Did you get the tests passing and the code clean? If you want to, these are some additional things you could try:

  • If you're working in a language with mutable data structures and your implementation allows outside code to mutate the school's internal DB directly, see if you can prevent this. Feel free to introduce additional tests.

Then please share your thoughts in a comment on the submission. Did this experiment make the code better? Worse? Did you learn anything from it?

Elm Installation

Refer to the Exercism help page for Elm installation and learning resources.

Writing the Code

The first time you start an exercise, you'll need to ensure you have the appropriate dependencies installed.

$ npm install

Execute the tests with:

$ npm test

Automatically run tests again when you save changes:

$ npm run watch

As you work your way through the test suite, be sure to remove the skip <| calls from each test until you get them all passing!

Submitting Incomplete Solutions

It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
