NEO Tracker Coding Challenge

Your goal is to set up the front-end UI for an application which enables the user to view and manage shipments. The main goal is for the user to check shipments at a glance. This allows users to make faster decisions and plan ahead of time.

Use cases

  • The user should be able to:
    • See shipments in pages of 20 elements per page
    • Search by shipment id
    • Sort by different fields (e.g. id, name) in ascending/descending order
    • Be able to filter shipments by different criteria, like destination, cargo, etc. (open-ended)
    • View the shipment information on a separate shipment details page
    • Update the shipment name (should persist when the page is reloaded)

The interactions should not refresh the page.

Evaluation Criteria

Must Have

  • Use React/JS. You can use any libraries you'd like
  • The application must start
  • The application must be divided into components
  • The file structure must be consistent and easy to follow
  • Must cover all use cases with minor issues
  • Tests written and passing for functions used to sort and filter shipments (ie. not testing the UI display but the utility functions)

Nice to Have

  • TypeScript is used (and don't use "any" types)
  • Use Styled Components for styling
  • Use React Hooks where possible
  • The application is configurable by environment variables
  • The application has a development and production environment
  • The application has good naming
  • The application computes values
  • The application is responsive
  • Use higher order functions (e.g. map, filter, reduce) and immutable variables

Negatives

  • No componentization
  • No modularization
  • Inline styles
  • No control over re-rendering (e.g. not using id for a list)
  • Bad naming
  • Direct DOM manipulation

How to submit

  • Clone this repository
  • Complete your project as described above within your local repository
  • Make sure that there are scripts to start both the server and the client
  • Push your changes to your GitHub and send us a link to the repo

How to run API server

The boilerplate includes a small service for data fetching. The file db.json includes all the necessary data to achieve the goal. Please follow the steps below to start the server:

  • yarn install or npm install
  • yarn server or npm run server

See json-server for more information.

Time limit

1 week from the time we send you the test should be sufficient to fulfill a lot of the above requirements. Our advice is to focus on making sure that the application works properly and fulfills the "must-haves" above before moving on to secondary objectives. Happy coding!
