Sample project for gauging interviewee knowledge and process.
Using the Django REST framework, display a list of trips. This should take no more than 4 hours or so, but more time can be used, if necessary.
We'd like to get a sense of your work! We're looking for well-documented code, that explains what you're doing, and more importantly, the reasoning behind it. This will help us get a better understanding of your thinking process. Frequent, and numerous commits are also encouraged, with sensible, and relevant commit messages.
Not part of the 4-hour time frame
First, you'll need to get your environment set up. Here's a quick TODO list, to get things going. We've also added more detailed explanations on some of the tasks.
- install pip
- install git
- clone repo
- Install requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt - Run Server
python manage.py runserver
** Use of virtualenv (and virtualenvwrapper) is recommended.
Create a folder for your work, then do:
git clone https://github.com/gadventures/precious-challenge.git or git clone git@github.com:gadventures/precious-challenge.git
To install the requirements, do:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Before you dive into the code, create a separate branch to do your work. The reason for this is so that you can issue a pull request, which will allow us to review your code. To create a new branch:
git checkout -b your_branch_name
Note: Put your name in the branch so we can identify you.
We encourage, and recommend frequent commits:
git commit -ma "your message here"
That's good for us and you. It helps get a better understanding of your thought process, and problem solving skills.
We want you to create an application that lists Trips via a template, and also via an API call. A 'Trip' can be as detailed as you wish.
Have one view that lists all trips, at https://127.0.0.1:8000/
Have another view that listens for API calls, at https://127.0.0.1:8000/api/
BONUS: If you have extra time, throw in a way to query against certain parameters.
Once you're ready to submit, you can create a pull request on the github project page. After that, you're done!
