Welcome to Sellpy's web interview repo!
NodeJS - if you don't already have it installed, check out nvm.
Fork the repository (see top-right button on GitHub) and clone the fork to your computer.
- Navigate to the backend folder
- Run
npm ci - Run
npm start
- Navigate to the frontend folder
- Run
npm ci - Run
npm start
A browsertab will automatically open and load the app.
If you don't have a favorite editor we highly recommend VSCode. We've also had some ESLint rules set up which will help you catch bugs etc. If you're using VSCode, install the regular ESLint plugin and you should be good to go!
You can open the root folder in one workspace, or /frontend and /backend in seperate workspaces - both should work fine.
Check .nvmrc to see what node version is required to run the project. Just run nvm use if you have nvm installed. Later versions of node might work fine as well, but probably not earlier versions.
For those of you using Prettier (not a requirement), there's an .prettierrc file to ensure no unnecessary changes to the existing code. It should be picked up automatically by Prettier.
Your assignment is to improve this todo list application. At the moment the application is simple and can only create and remove todos. As is, nothing is persisted in the server. As a result all state is cleared when refreshing the page! Below follows one main task and 4 additional tasks. Your assignment is to complete the main task together with at least 2 out of 4 of the additional tasks. If you feel constrained by time (which is totally fine!), prioritize quality over quantity.
Persist the todo lists on the server. Persisting in a database is not required. (Simple js structures on the server is fine). If you do go for an actual DB (again not required), be sure to include instructions of how to get it up and running.
- Don't require users to press save when an item is added/edited in the todo list. (Autosave functionality)
- Make it possible to indicate that a todo is completed.
- Indicate that a todo list is completed if all todo items within are completed.
- Add a date for completion to todo items. Indicate how much time is remaining or overdue.
Before submitting, read through all changes one last time - code quality matters!
If you have developed without ESLint set up, run npm run lint in both /backend and /frontend and fix any errors/warnings.
Send a link to your forked repository to your contact at Sellpy. Don't forget to mention which tasks you completed.
