Back-end Developer Test

Be sure to read all of this document carefully, and follow the guidelines within.

Context

Build a RESTful API that can create/read/update/delete user data from a persistence store.

User Model

{
  "id": "xxx",                  // user ID (must be unique)
  "name": "backend test",       // user name
  "dob": "",                    // date of birth
  "address": "",                // user address
  "description": "",            // user description
  "createdAt": ""               // user created date
  "updatedAt": ""               // user updated date
}

Functionality

• The API should follow typical RESTful API design pattern.
• The data should be saved in the DB, use any persistence store, NoSQL DB is preferred.
• Provide proper API documentation.
• Proper error handling should be used.

What We Care About

Use any libraries that you would normally use if this were a real production App. Please note: we're interested in your code & the way you solve the problem, not how well you can use a particular library or feature.

We're interested in your method and how you approach the problem just as much as we're interested in the end result.

Here's what you should strive for:

• Good use of the backend stack selected
• API design best practices.
• Solid testing approach.
• Extensible code.

Basic Requirements

• Use Springboot (Java or Kotlin), NodeJs (Express, Loopback or Hapi framework)
• Use any persistence store.
• Write concise and clear commit messages.
• Write clear documentation on how it has been designed and how to run the code.

Bonus

• Provide proper unit tests.
• Add a read only endpoint to fetch location information based off the user's address (use NASA or Mapbox APIs)
• Providing an online demo is welcomed, but not required.

Good luck!

We look forward to seeing what you can do. Remember, although it is a test, there are no specific right or wrong answers that we are looking for - just do the job as best you can.
