At its core, Contactually is an online database for your contacts. Your task is to build a very basic web interface for this database that accepts file uploads, stores the data in a relational database, and displays the information back to the user. This is an un-timed exercise, though most applicants submit within a few days to a week.
- Built in Ruby on Rails.
- Allow a user to upload a tab-delimited file of contacts via a web form. The
file will contain the following columns:
first_name,last_name,email_address,phone_number,company_name. There's an example file included (data.tsv). - Parse the given file, normalize the data, and store the information in a relational database.
- Display the list of contacts and their data.
- Accompanying specs written in Rspec
- Allow deleting specific contacts via Ajax (ideally using React).
- Allow the list of contacts to be filtered via Javascript to show:
- Only contacts with international numbers
- Only contacts numbers with an extension
- Only contacts with
.comemail addresses - Order the contacts alphabetically by email address
- Deploy your app to a free instance of Heroku and email us the link
- Break up your work into separate/logical commits.
- You can use as many branches as you need in order to organize your work, but you must
make sure your completed code is on the
masterbranch before bundling up your work. - Your code should be clear and well-documented.
When you're done, use git bundle to bundle up the repo and email it as an attachment
to hw@contactually.com.
NOTE: Your application does not need to handle authentication or authorization.
