Stocks coding challenge

How to run the application

There are two apps: stocks and stocks-api.

• stocks is the front-end. It uses Angular 7 and Material. You can run this using yarn serve:stocks
• stocks-api uses Hapi and has a very minimal implementation. You can start the API server with yarn serve:stocks-api

A proxy has been set up in stocks to proxy calls to locahost:3333 which is the port that the Hapi server listens on.

You need to register for a token here: https://iexcloud.io/cloud-login#/register/ Use this token in the environment.ts file for the stocks app.

The charting library is the Google charts API: https://developers.google.com/chart/

Problem statement

Original problem statement

Task 1

Please provide a short code review of the base master branch:

Task 1-A

1. What is done well?
2. What would you change?
3. Are there any code smells or problematic implementations?

Make a PR to fix at least one of the issues that you identify

Task 1-B

Accessibility is an important feature of all public facing websites.

Make a PR to add accessibility features to the web application

Task 2

Business requirement: As a user I should be able to type into
the symbol field and make a valid time-frame selection so that
the graph is refreshed automatically without needing to click a button.

Make a PR from the branch feat_stock_typeahead to master and provide a code review on this PR

Add comments to the PR. Focus on all items that you can see - this is a hypothetical example but let's treat it as a critical application. Then present these changes as another commit on the PR.

Task 3

Business requirement: As a user I want to choose custom dates
so that I can view the trends within a specific period of time.

Implement this feature and make a PR from the branch feat_custom_dates to master.

Use the material date-picker component

We need two date-pickers: "from" and "to". The date-pickers should not allow selection of dates after the current day. "to" cannot be before "from" (selecting an invalid range should make both dates the same value)

Task 4

Technical requirement: the server `stocks-api` should be used as a proxy
to make calls. Calls should be cached in memory to avoid querying for the
same data. If a query is not in cache we should call-through to the API.

Implement the solution and make a PR from the branch feat_proxy_server to master

It is important to get the implementation working before trying to organize and clean it up.
