Technical Test Park-IT

This has been built using the Next.JS framework for React Using Typescript with an Atomic Design approach to structure.

There are three main aspects to the SPA.

Built with

  • NextJS, SSR for free
  • React ⚛️
  • Typescript 📜
  • Styled Components 💅
  • Flexbox Layout 💪
  • Prettier 👩‍🎤
  • Atomic Design Methodology ⚛️

Functionality

  • /, loads with default search term "cars"
  • /search, provides searchbox for users to do their own search
  • /tag?tag=[term], navigable by clicking a tag in a gallery cards info
  • Loads 12 images from the API at all times (some less if image data is missing)
  • Usage of progressive content loaders to give perceived performance benefits to user
  • Users can click image/title to view image
  • Users can click username to go to owners profile

Improvements / Enhancements

  • Add Node /w Express and expose API to make flickr calls on behalf of us so we don't have to expose API Key client side
    • There's unfortunately no CORS support with their API so you can't at least whitelist domains to run on
  • Lazy Loading /w Button to load more so we don't load content in automatically as users scroll eating up bandwidth automatically
  • Lazy loading images into the page so at least on mobiles we can get the request for images down to 1/2 on screen at a time.
  • Testing of at least component logic using Jest and testing of frontend components with React Testing Library
