tips

It’s natural to feel stressed during a test, so don’t panic. We wrote down some good old tips that may calm you down.

  • Relax yourself mentally and physically
  • Consider alternative solutions
  • If you are stuck, start with the brute force solution
  • Plan out the full solution before you code
  • Keep the big picture in mind

How can I apply for this opportunity?

Fork this repository, build your awesome solution and then add alex.nosse@bornlogic.com and neto@bornlogic.com as collaborators to your project.

Build a greate READ.ME explaining how to run your code and which technologies did you choose.

You can open an issue at any time if you have any questions.

Let's get started

Let's pretend we launched a "Marvel Comics Catalog", using Marvel API.

Your first objective as a frontend developer is to help us grow our socialmedia by building the first visual components and webpages.

Development Requirements

Which technologies/libs can I use?

  • React
  • Typescript
  • ES6+
  • React Hooks
  • styled components
  • You can also use create-react-app if you want to.

What libs/tech should I avoid?

  • Structured templates (using an already built template restrain our capacity to evaluate your project)

Time frame

  • Keep Calm, and do as much as you can. Keep in mind that you have up to 7 days to complete the challenge.

Step One

  • Read carefully the documentation: Marvel API.
  • Create an account and an API key. You can use Postman or Insomnia and test if your key is valid.

Step Two

It's show time! Remember, build essencial components for each reusable part of your app, such us lists and detail infos.

The application should have two routes:

  • Comic's List
  • Comic Detail

The Comic's List page should

  • show the first 30 comics on list;
  • display for each comic the cover image (if it has one) and it's title;
  • show the details of the comic, when the user clicks on the comic (navigate to the comic details page);
  • have an search input, where the user can type the name of the comic;
  • have a pagination

The comic details page should

  • have more details about the comic, like description, variantDescription, format, pageCount, images;
  • display a list of characters that are associated with this comic;
  • display a list of creators that are associated with this comic;
  • display the cover of a magazine, if the user clicks on the comic name;
  • be shareable, if the user copy and paste the url on another browser, it should open the same page

Step Three

It would be great to see these libraries being used in your code, but we would love to know what you can suggest for us:

And for last but not least, if you think the those first steps were too easy, then you can:

  • Create a fake login web page using a JWT token strategy (http://jwt.io);
  • Add a favorite feature, where the user can save on the client side which comics are his/her favorites, and then show only those selected;
  • e2e testing ❤️;
  • Surprise us with some awesome feature that we didn't think about;

Step four

Which are the main aspects we'll be evaluating in your code:

  • Clean Code
  • How you approach the task presented to you
  • Layout and CSS
  • Componentization
  • Responsivity
  • How far can you go through the challenge
  • Bug count
