Overview

Implement a basic Node.js backend system for an NFT airdrop application using Express.js in TypeScript. This system allows users to generate and redeem codes for NFT airdrops, with a focus on modularizing your code for various routes.

Objectives

  1. Implement Minimal In-Memory Store(s)

    • Develop a simple class to manage airdrop job details (unique redeem code, NFT contract address).
    • Functions:
      • Generate/store airdrop job details.
      • Retrieve airdrop job details by redeem code.
      • Mark an airdrop job as redeemed.
  2. Develop Basic API Endpoints

    • Endpoint to generate a redeem code for an NFT contract with a specified quantity.
    • Endpoint to redeem the NFT using the redeem code and a wallet address.
    • [Admin Only] Endpoints to list, retrieve, update, and delete airdrop jobs.
  3. Implement Basic Validation and Error Handling

    • Validate inputs for API endpoints.
    • Handle errors, such as invalid or already redeemed codes.
  4. Simple API Security

    • Implement a basic API Key authentication.
    • Role-based access control with two roles: admin and public. Admins have full access, while public users have limited access.
  5. Bonus: Unit Testing with Jest

    • Write unit tests focusing on critical business logic.
  6. Bonus: Replace In-Memory Store(s) with MongoDB.

  7. Bonus: Integrate a queue system for asynchronous airdrop processing and batch airdrop processing.

  8. Bonus: Implement airdrop function with smart contract interaction using Ethers.js / Web3.js.

Requirements

  • TypeScript and ES6+ code.
  • Emphasis on maintainability and understandable code structure.
  • Flexibility to modify the provided starter code.
  • For bonus objectives, a brief explanation of your solution and design choices is sufficient. Implementation is a plus.

Evaluation Criteria

  • Functionality: The application should meet the outlined objectives.
  • System Design: Look for practicality and simplicity in the overall system architecture, with particular attention to how the code is modularized for different routes.
  • Code Quality: Cleanliness, readability, and documentation.
  • Modularity and Scalability: Assess how well the solution uses modular design patterns to enhance code scalability and maintenance.
  • Testing: Coverage and quality of unit tests.
