This repository provides a "quick" application for a frontend exercise. While apps do not follow best practices or the quality standards at Holvi, they have been put in place quickly for the exercise.
You will need to have installed in your system Docker and docker-compose.
All this has been developed mostly using MacOS. Please let us know if there is
any problem running this in other operating systems (potential problems may
arise in mounted volumes).
The app provides a simple inventory application where there are items and quantity for them.
The exercise consists in writing a web frontend UI
- Add items
- Remove items
- Change quantity of an item
The only thing necessary to get the applications running is execute
docker-compose up at the root folder of the directory.
http://localhost:5000/api/....: API endpointshttp://localhost:5000/*: Other endpoints serve the index.html so that HTML5 history.pushState API can be used.
The services use Python Flask with storage of data with Python tinydb in json.
Databases with initial data have been provided so that they are easy to reset
via git reset --hard (docker-compose down and up will be required)
The API definition can be found in the main ./app/app.py.
Reading and understanding the API for integration is part of the exercise, just couple hints.
POSTover/api/inventoryrequires onlynameattribute and will setquantityto zero, regardles if a value has been sent over.
Write a very simple UI for interacting with the backend. You choose the technologies you want to use. Minimum functionality to implement:
- Display the list of items
- Add item
- Remove item
- Edit item quantity
Extra points but not necessary:
- Tests
- Item details view and routing
An example app for the minimum functionality has been written in a little
framework called mithril.js and found at branch example-mitrhil
