Hi applicant!
This repo contains the starter code for Dagens job test, as well as the task description. Please see README.md in server/ and client/ folders on how to install dependencies and start the server and client. The intention with this test is to have a look at how you solve a pretty straight forward problem, and then discuss it afterwards.
-
The server has an in-memory "database"-array with 1000 products. This is your database, you are not supposed to set up any database service like MongoDB or write to file or persist data in any way.
-
We're using the three categories
<meat, greens, fish>in the pre-populated database, but feel free to let the user add more categories if you like - no right or wrong. -
Styling/CSS is not important.
-
Adding too much abstraction, handling every possible error and adding validation for every input and endpoint won't give you any extra points.
✔️ 1. Users should be able to create products from a form page. The products should be appended to the database (see server/db.js).
✔️ 2. Create one endpoint to get products. It should be possible to filter by category, maximum and minimum price. The endpoint should be paged with a page size of 24 products per page. No need to write frontend code.
✔️ 3. Create one endpoint that takes a product id parameter and returns the N products with nearest price in the same category. You can choose N yourself. No need to write frontend code.
Clone the repo, solve the tasks and push your code to a public GitHub repo, Bitbucket repo, or similar. Send a link to the solution to Dagens.
