challenge myself

This repo aims for collecting some challenged tasks and completing them. You could complete them by yourself just as a programming workouts. Or you can choose them as a question in pair programming interviews. Some of them are marked as ⭐, which means I was asked to implement it in an interview.

It's unfair to ask interviewee what they don't know very well. If I was a interviewer, I'd like to ask some question related to their experience. But it's quite challenge, Like, If they've worked with React for years, I might challenge them by implementing Virtual DOM Diff If they've worked with Vue.js for years, I might challenge them by implementing a reactivity system.

Tips:

1. DO NOT rely on any library or tools.
2. Don't need to consider old browser.
3. You'd better complete it with valina JS in given time. Complete them by yourself.
4. Then you could check my thoughts(README files under the subfolders) and solutions.

Perfection Game ⭐️

Virtual DOM Diff ⭐

Simple version, we don't have to consider key. Given the data structure like this,

const rawTree = {
  tag: 'ul',
  children: [{
    tag: 'li',
    children: '🍎',
  }, {
    tag: 'li',
    children: '🍇',
  }],
};

You can do the follow coding step by step:

1. Render whole tree in page.
2. CopyrawTree to addedItemTree and add a new item. then add a button in page, when given button was clicked, then render this tree again. Ensure the old dom won't be rendered more than once.
3. Copy rawTree to removedItemTree and remove last item, then add a button in page, when given button was clicked, then render this tree again. Ensure the first item be rendered.
4. Copy rawTree to modifiedItemTree and modify one item, then same as above.

Time: It depends on the how many features you want to complete.

Reactivity

The core of Vue.js is reactivity system. If you are working with Vue.js or Mobx, it's essential to dig out what happen behind these frameworks. Also, it's a great chance for TDD. Assume you're using Jest.

1. Add this test and it should be fail at first, then make it pass.

const callback = jest.fn();
const todos = {
  count: 0
};
observe(todos, callback);
todos.count = 1;
expect(callback).toHaveBeenCalled();

2. Add test for creating Vue

const render = jest.fn();
const app = new Vue({
  data: {
    count: 0,
  },
  render,
});
app.count = 1;
expect(render).toHaveBeenCalled();

3. dependency collection This task is little bit tricky. You have to consider about dependency collection.

const render = jest.fn(function() {
  console.log(this.count);
});
const app = new Vue({
  data: {
    count: 0,
    todo: 'wake up',
  },
  render,
});
render.mockClear();
expect(render).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(0);
app.count = 1;
expect(render).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
app.todo = 'sleep';
expect(render).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);

There're lots of details need to be taken care of. You could ask interviewer any detail they could complment to test if they really understand Vue.js.

co(generator runner) write a co() methods

function* main() {
  const num1 = yield 1;
  const num2 = yield 2;
  console.log(num1 + num2);
}
co(main);
