Thanks for your interest in Airtasker. As part of our hiring process Airtasker likes to ask candidates to complete a short exercise. It is designed to allow candidates to show off their coding skills and helps us assess a candidate's abilities.
Prerequisites of this task are an understanding of Javascript, Node, NPM and React.
The exercise should take between 2 and 4 hours to complete.
To get started you will need to install the required dependencies:
npm i
Then start webpack in watch mode:
npm run dev
Contained in this zip are the basics of an Airtasker activity feed application.
The objective is to complete the supplied React app so that it looks like the example PNGs. To do this you will have to
- create a data parser,
- modify the existing React component to render each item,
- add functionality so one can rollover user and task links to display their path
- and update the stylesheet to suit.
Create a parser in MyParser.js that parses the supplied activity_feed.json. This is where you should generate the relevant path.
Create a React component in MyComponent.jsx to render a screen like example.png, example-over-task.png and example-over-user.png.
Modify styles in MyStyle.css to suit.
Don't modify activity_feed.json, index.html or app.jsx
The primary goal is well thought out, clean and testable code.
Your submission only needs to work in latest Chrome.
The objective must be completed, and the rules and limitations must be adhered to.
Writing tests, using a suite of your choice.
