iOS Challenge

Create an app in Swift that displays a list of Farmdrop producers and their details.

Displaying a list of producers

A) Use the following API endpoint (GET) to fetch a list of producers:

• Use this enpoint: https://fd-v5-api-release.herokuapp.com/2/producers
• No authentication is required for this endpoint.
• Response will contain a JSON object.

1. Parse the JSON object to produce a smooth scrolling list of producers.

2. Each cell should at least contain:

• The producer's name (JSON key name).
• The producer's short description (short_description). Truncate it, if the length is more than ~3 / 4 lines long.

3. When tapping on a producer's cell, it should be possible to see a detailed view of that producer with the following information:

• The producer's name.
• The producer's image (images). Use the first one if there's more than one.
• The produceer's location (location) if available.
• The producer's long description (description) or the short description is no long description is avaliable.

Note: If you want, you can fetch an invididual producer's date by specifying their id: https://fd-v5-api-release.herokuapp.com/2/producers/{id}

B) Add pagination to your list of producers created as part of task A. You can use the same endpoint, and pass the followwuing query parameters:

• page: The page number (first page is 1).
• per_page_limit: The size of the page.

NB: When there are no more pages, the response key will contain an empty array.

Search locally for producers.

1) Persist the list of producers on the device.

• Use any technology or method you desire.
• Make sure that the list is kept up to date (or downloaded every time if you like) with the server data.

2) Add a searchbar to your list of producers created as part of task A.

• When the user types a string in that search bar, display only the producer's whose name contains the search string.
• Allow the user to cancel such or clear the search bar.

Requirements

Submit as an xcode project

• You can fork this repository and submit a link to your fork.

Extra

• Use a reactive framework like ReactiveSwift (ReactiveCocoa) or RxSwift if you're familiar with it.
• Feel free to use third party frameworks for JSON parsing, networking, image caching and so on.
• Add unit tests.

Evaluation criteria:

• Quality is better than quantity
• Maintain a consistent navigation structure, be it tabs or sliding menus
• Device orientation handling is not required, although we expect you to structure your code to be able to easily add support for this
• Architecture, how clean and structured the code is.
• Our endpoints use the following http methods: POST, GET, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE, so choose a network framework that supports all of them.
• Compatibility with various devices and previous OS (iOS 9 and 10). Good use of additional libraries (if relevant).
• Use of built-in components, e.g.: UIStackView, UICollectionView, UISearchController, UITabBarController, UrlSession, URLRequest, CoreData, etc.
• Use of design patterns
• We make use of a lot of images, including using them for animation when navigating from screen to screen.
• Unit tests
