Premise

The premise of this challenge is to create a "profile page" for various star wars characters in the Star Wars universe.

Specification

Create a simple single page application that provides the following features:

  • A search bar that takes the characters name as input.
  • A profile containing the following sectional information for the searched character:
    • About Me (height, weight, hair color, date of birth, species information)
    • Films Appeared In
    • Starships Flown

Use SWAPI to obtain all the star wars data that you need.

Use whatever languages or tech you want -- we are looking for clean, testable code that demonstrates usage of common design patterns and best practices above all else.

BUT

You will get bonus points if...

  • A decent understanding of React is demonstrated
  • A decent understanding of Next.js is demonstrated
  • A decent understanding of unit/integration testing is demonstrated
  • A basic "gateway" api is created to consolidate and proxy calls to SWAPI
  • You add cool and creative features not included in the spec

Submissions

Please put your submission in a public github repository to share.
