Thanks for taking the time to review my code challenge submission. I really enjoyed making this and I hope you like it.
- Language: TypeScript
- View Layer: React 16.12 (using Hooks exclusively)
- Application State: Redux
- Side Effect Handler: Redux Saga
- Immutability: Immutable.js
- Data Visualization: Nivo
- Component Library: Material UI
- Memoization: Reselect
Three reasons:
- I had the time. My submission wasn't likely to get reviewed during Thanksgiving week so there was no need to rush.
- I wanted to submit something that could possibly resemble production code. Writing this in codepen with jQuery was certainly an option, but this is a better example of my skills.
- I wanted a foundational application for personal projects that incorporated all the libraries you see.
I am by no means an expert at some of the libraries I chose. I'm relatively new to sagas, and I likely do not have optimal patterns in place, particularly in the root saga. While I've used TypeScript for years, I still get hung up on complex types from time to time. You'll notice, for instance, I use any in a few places. This was to avoid getting into generics for this exercise.
Aside from those things, there was one bug I spent some time debugging but couldn't satisfactorily resolve. Sending a jobcoin on enter. Despite the code being nearly identical to the code for login, it simply does not work. A real mystery, that.
Overall, I'm pleased with how this turned out. I'm looking forward to feedback on what could have been done differently.
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
In the project directory, you can run:
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment for more information.
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!
If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.
You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
