/js-coding-challenge

Overview

To complete this challenge, you will need to write a simple React or Angular or Vue JS based web app, and provide us the source files to be built.

The purpose of this challenge is to assess your skills and approach to composing a simple web app given a set of screens, and an API feed. We will also assess the generated HTML, CSS, and JS output.

This challenge is expected to take about 12 hours.

The Challenge

Using the provided screens as a reference, you'll need to build a set of React/Vue/Angular components to render the app. You'll also need to request a JSON feed, filter that data, and use the relevant fields.

We'll be looking for simple, well-designed, performant, and tested code in the submission.

Please include a README with setup instructions, and any other document you created as part of your solution.

Also, add the following info to your README:

  • How did you decide on the technical and architectural choices used as part of your solution?
  • Are there any improvements you could make to your submission?
  • What would you do differently if you were allocated more time?

Details

You will need to build the following 3 pages with React/Angular/Vue:

  • A "Home" page
  • A "Series" page
  • A "Movies" page

The deployable solution should be built in a folder named dist with an entry point file of index.html.

Please create components for each part of the page (eg. header, content/store, footer, etc). Assets are provided in the assets folder.

The pages should also be responsive on desktop, mobile and tablet devices.

"Home" Page

Refer to the screens/1-home.jpg screen.

This will be your index.html screen.

You will need to display 2 tiles, which link to the "Series" page and the "Movies" page.

"Series" and "Movies" Pages

Refer to the screens/2-series.jpg and screens/3-movies.jpg screens.

For each page you will need to consume this API (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amawalla/js-coding-challenge/master/feed/sample.json), then:

  • Display the first 21 entries
  • Where the entry has a releaseYear attribute value >= 2010
  • Sorted by the title attribute value in ascending alphanumeric order

For the "Series" page filter on:

  • Where the entry has a programType attribute value of series

For the "Movies" page filter on:

  • Where the entry has a programType attribute value of movie

The attributes you should use to display the entries are:

  • title
  • images → Poster Art → url

You will also need to handle the loading and error states of fetching the JSON feed from API:

Note

Please deploy the app to the server and share the url. Server details will be shared via email.

FAQ

What language, framework, build tool... should I use?

You may use whatever you like as long as the solution is built using React, Angular or Vue JS.

You can use any CSS framework you wish ie Bootstrap, Tailwind etc.

Other Notes

Please send through any other code or projects that you're proud of and would like to share with us.
