Wiredcraft Back-end Developer Test

Make sure you read all of this document carefully, and follow the guidelines in it.

Context

Build a RESTful API that can get/create/update/delete user data from a persistence database

User Model

{
  "id": "xxx",                  // user ID (you can use uuid or the ID provided by database, but need to be unique)
  "name": "test",               // user name
  "dob": "",                    // date of birth
  "address": "",                // user address
  "description": "",            // user description
  "createdAt": ""               // user created date
}

Requirements

Functionality

  • The API should follow typical RESTful API design pattern.
  • The data should be saved in the DB.
  • Provide proper API document.

Tech stack

  • Use Node.js and any framework.
  • Use any DB. NoSQL DB is preferred.

Bonus

  • Write clear documentation on how it's designed and how to run the code.
  • Provide proper unit test.
  • Write good commit messages.
  • An online demo is always welcome.

Advanced requirements

These are used for some further challenges. You can safely skip them if you are not asked to do any, but feel free to try out.

  • Use Seneca to build the core feature and use a different framework (such as Express or Loopback) to handle HTTP requests.
  • Provide a complete user auth (authentication/authorization/etc) strategy, such as OAuth.
  • Provide a complete logging (when/how/etc) strategy.
  • Use a NoSQL DB and build a filter feature that can filter records with some of the attributes such as username. Do not use query languages such as MongoDB Query or Couchbase N1QL.

What We Care About

Feel free to use any libraries you would use if this were a real production App, but remember we're interested in your code & the way you solve the problem, not how well you can use a particular library.

We're interested in your method and how you approach the problem just as much as we're interested in the end result.

Here's what you should aim for:

  • Good use of current Node.js & API design best practices.
  • Solid testing approach.
  • Extensible code.

Q&A

Where should I send back the result when I'm done?

Fork this repo and send us a pull request when you think you are done. We don't have a deadline for the task.

What if I have a question?

Create a new issue in the repo and we will get back to you very quickly.
