Simple Patient Search Starter Project

This is a simple search application over a set of patient records. You can clone this repo or provision an instant dev environment via http://beta.codenvy.com/f?id=qu9bnf9n1h40whho

Your Mission

In src/main/java you'll find the starter backend code and in src/main/webapp you'll find the start UI code. If you start up the application, you'll see a basic search application. It's a simple ember app that hits an endpoint in src/main/java/com/qpidhealth/qpid/search/services/PatientService.

Take an hour or two and work on some basic improvements to this application, including, but not limited to:

  • Making the PatientService filter the results it returns by a case-insensitive, partial match over the document title and contents.
  • Cleaning up the code using better object-oriented design and improving readability.
  • Adding a couple unit tests around your search code.

If you have HTML/JavaScript experience, also work on some of the following:

  • Improve the result rendering in the UI with better styling of snippet results.
  • Update the search interface to debounce calls to the backend
  • Perform highlighting of the search term in the text results
  • Come up with and add a new feature to the UI, this can be anything your creativity can dream up.

After you are done, right click the src folder and download it. Email the final code to michael.barrett@qpidhealth.com

Good Luck!
