Zimpler Technical Test

This is a technical test proposed at zimpler's technical test page.

To run the script is simple, once you have go runtime installed, "zimply":

make run

After that, there will be printed two data structures, the first is the overall overview of the csv analysis and the second one is the expected output :)

It will look something like:

[
  {
    "Name": "Jonas",
    "FavouriteSnack": "Geisha",
    "TotalSnacks": 1982
  },
  {
    "Name": "Annika",
    "FavouriteSnack": "Geisha",
    "TotalSnacks": 208
  },
  {
    "Name": "Jane",
    "FavouriteSnack": "Nötchoklad",
    "TotalSnacks": 22
  },
  {
    "Name": "Aadya",
    "FavouriteSnack": "Center",
    "TotalSnacks": 11
  }
]

Final technical test considerations

There is still plenty of possibilities and room for improvements, for sure. However, as a script and a "simple" technical test I tried to keep things as "zimple" as possible :)

My main initial doubt was regarding whether I would store the given data into memory, csv ou database... so, to make things "zimple" but not very "zimple", I decided to go with the csv approach :)

The script has 100% test coverage. To run the test suites

make test-unit-cover

or for verbose mode

make test-unit-cover-silent

For you to be able to see the coverage report, run

make test-unit-cover-report

Any doubts or willingness to explore, please, have a look in the Makefile :)

# Ps. -> I wish I had done a more robust architecture design but again... I tried to make things as "zimple" as possible.
