React Native Code Challenge

The goal of this code challenge is to implement a simple book search application in React-Native using the Google Book HTTP Api

Part 1: Book Search

  • Implement a one screen application which displays an input field for serching and a search button.
  • Tapping the search button loads the first 10 results in a list.
    • Each result must display the following fields:
      • Title
      • Author
      • Description
      • Thumbnail

Part 2: Infinite scrolling

  • When scrolling to the bottom of the screen, the application should automatically fetch and append the next 10 results.

Notes

  • We will evaluate you on code quality, maintainability, testability, and software engineering best practices in general.

  • We do not expect any UI styling and won't evaluate the "look and feel" of the app.

  • You can use any software library relevant to the completion of the tasks at hand.

  • You can consult any resources you want but refrain from copy/pasting big parts of code. We want to evaluate your own code.

  • The search endpoint does not need any authentication and you should not need any authentication code to query it:

  • The google book search api allows calls from any origin so you should not need any proxy from same domain of your react application:
