Live News Front

This is an app generated using the Quasar Framework and is meant to be refactored and improved to show your technical skills and proficiency in Vue.js.

The app consists off the following functionalities:

  • Authentication: it now allows for any username to be logged in, you will just need to provide a complex enough password.
  • Init jauge: A jauge displaying the process of loading data inside the app, when it reaches 100%, the user is redirected the the Index page.
  • Index: it displays a list of posts

Prerequisites

You will need node version ^19.7 to run the application on your local environment.

Install the dependencies

yarn

Start the app in development mode (hot-code reloading, error reporting, etc.)

yarn  dev

TODOS

Ideally, you will make one (1) commit for each of the following tasks:

  • Preload the users avatar So that there is no delay when displaying the user's avatar Use the init jauge page to prefetch all the users and their avatar Avatar not displayed while loading

  • Store the first 10 Posts locally using PouchDB (or any equivalent package) So that there is no loading required when we land on the Index page, and make the app work offline Use the init jauge page to prefetch the 10 initial Posts

  • Load 10 more Posts when we scroll to the bottom of the page Store the new Posts locally as well and when we refresh the page, all stored Posts can directly be viewed without calling the API. We will first load and display all Posts stored locally before attempting to call the API for more Posts

  • Prefetch all Posts Use the init jauge page to prefetch ALL the Posts created as the user logs in All the Posts should be displayed progressively 10 by 10 locally, without any need of internet connection on the Index page.

  • Sync new Posts On the Index page, periodically call the API to fetch new created Posts and store them locally Start and Stop the API generation job to simulate new Posts created Display newly created Posts on TOP of the list

NB: at all time, Posts will be displayed ordered by updated-at time, descending
