Instructions

You are required to implement a single page application that allows user to add text and image into canvas.

Features

Below are the basic features for the application:

  • user can see the existing images from folder images to the images list
  • user can upload image to folder images and directly added to images list
  • user can add image / text from the menu to the canvas
  • user can move and delete the image / text inside the canvas
  • the created objects on canvas can be saved and repopulated on refresh browser

Resources

You will be given a HTML and CSS file with simple structure, and a server that allows you to upload and retrieve image. Instruction on how to run the server is included below.

Requirements

Here are the expected requirements:

  • App should have the features listed above

  • App should work on modern browsers (Chrome / Firefox)

  • App logic and data flow are written in a functional and reactive programming concept

    Separate the logic between application data state and template view / user interactions (unidirectional data flow).

  • Use libraries as less as possible,

    If you need to use libraries, we recommend ReactJS (or any virtual DOM library), RxJS (or any streams library), CycleJS (or any FRP library), and jQuery. For moving item inside the canvas, try your best to do it natively.

    note: use native HTML element <div> for editor canvas, not <canvas>

  • Code and flow should be properly documented

    Help us understand your flow easier by code comments or a readme file.

  • Build automated test for the app

How to Submit

  • Zip your working folder with the name <your name>-piktojstest

  • Exclude node_modules folder from the zip

  • If you're using github or any code management tools, you can pass us the link

  • You have one day to complete the test. If you are not able to finish, do send us whatever you have done, we will evaluate accordingly. If you need more time to fulfill all the features and requirements, we can give you an extra day

Have fun programming 😊
