Getting Started

1: How to run test the application

First, you will need to start Metro, the JavaScript bundler that ships with React Native.

To start Metro, run the following command from the root of your React Native project:

# using npm
npm start

# OR using Yarn
yarn start

Let Metro Bundler run in its own terminal. Open a new terminal from the root of your React Native project. Run the following command to start your Android or iOS app:

For Android

# using npm
npm run android

# OR using Yarn
yarn android

For iOS

# using npm
npm run ios

# OR using Yarn
yarn ios

If everything is set up correctly, you should see your new app running in your Android Emulator or iOS Simulator shortly provided you have set up your emulator/simulator correctly.

This is one way to run your app — you can also run it directly from within Android Studio and Xcode respectively.

2: Reasoning behind the approach taken

• The approach for saving Trending GIFS data in redux is by createEntityAdapter function by redux toolkit to normalize data by key-value pair.
• Developed a custom wrapper component over Flatlist which handles:
  • All kind of loading states.
  • Sends network call on empty state.
  • Pull to refresh and send network request.
  • Send next page request on page end.
  • Get items on specific searched keywords.

3: Assumptions made

No such assumptions has been made because app is working on real data.

4: Total Time Taken

Project Initialization: Almost 1 hour (due to slow internet)
Project Completion: Almost 4 to 5 hours

5: Which solutions relied on googling hints, tips or answers

• When GIF was not playing in android, there was a solution suggested by Facebook is that to implement fresco animation in android/app/build.gradle
