Welcome to the Orderbird Tech Challenge :-).
"What to eat" is an app that helps you find some food on days where you are doubting what to bring to your stomach.
It has a simple table view, which fetches images from flickr API service, and populates a title and description label in the UI. Unfortunately one of our developers had introduced some bugs by accident and we hope that you can help to find and fix them.
Bug Fixes: First task would be to implement some bug fixes some of which are minor UI cosmetics and some which may be of a more serious nature and impact performance. We also noticed that the text within the cells seems to be truncated, would be nice to have this fixed also.
New Feature requirements: We would like you to add the ability to present a detail view of a tapped image cell to display a bigger more detailed image from the API with more details and text. Ideally this would envolve pushing to a new ViewController.
We also think that it would be nice to have the ability to sort the images by Date, perhaps this could displayed in a UISegmentedControl or have some toggle component.
Finally a re-write of the Networking layer in Swift 4 (or latest) would be required & add unit tests for the new module.
Some guidelines:
- Showcase your abilities, and use the task to demonstrate your idea of best practices, regarding coding style, project structure, patterns, design, etc.
- Don't use third party libraries.
- please do not rewrite the app completely in SWIFT ;-) (as we are more curious on how you work with the objective C codebase)
- There is no right or wrong solution, as long as it is your solution.
- If you only have time to do one thing please do it as good as you possible can. It is better to have a nice but incomplete solution rather than a mediocre "feature complete" one. We want to get a good impression of your abilities.
- Be prepared to describe your work in detail.
