This is an interview exercise for the Digital Products team of xtream. In the following sections, you will find a number of challenges that we ask you to implement. You DO NOT NECESSARILY need to complete 100% of them: you can choose to complete as many as you want.
⌚ We give you 1 week to submit a solution, so that you can do it at your own pace. We are aware that you might have other commitments, so we are not expecting you to work on this full-time. You will be evaluated based on the quality of your work, not on the time you spent on it.
Simply fork this repository and work on it as if you were working on a real-world project assigned to you. A week from now, we will assess your work.
❗ Important: At the end of this README, you will find a "How to run" section that is not written out. Please, write there instructions on how to run your code: we will use this section to evaluate your work.
Your work will be assessed according to several criteria. As an example, these include:
- Code quality
- Design Patterns
- Project Structure
- Work quality (commits, branches, workflow, tests, ...)
- Provided Documentation
We’re all about embracing the latest in AI, including GPT and similar technologies. They’re great tools that can provide a helping hand, whether it’s for generating ideas, debugging, or refining solutions. However, for this coding challenge, we’re really keen to see your personal touch. We're interested in your thought process, decision-making, and the solutions you come up with.
Remember, while using AI tools can be incredibly helpful, the essence of this task is to showcase your skills and creativity. Plus, be prepared to dive into the details of your code during the technical interview. Understanding the ' why' and 'how' behind your decisions is crucial, as it reflects your ability to critically engage with the technology you're using.
So, feel free to lean on AI for support, but ensure your work remains distinctly yours. We're looking for a blend of technical savvy and individual flair. Dive in, get creative, and let’s see what you can create. Excited to see your work. Happy coding! 🚀💼👩💻
We do understand that some topics might be unfamiliar for you. Therefore, pick any number of challenges and try to complete them.
❗Important: you might feel like the tasks are somehow too broad, or the requirements are not fully elicited. This is done on purpose: we want to give you the freedom to make your own choices and to put as fewer constraints as possible on your work. We appreciate if you could record any decisions, assumptions and doubts, together with any questions that you will ask in a real-world scenario. If you want to choose our stack instead, we generally work with TypeScript and React.
Your task is to build a web application for RecipeBook, a community-driven recipe sharing platform. Users can browse recipes, add new recipes, and leave comments and ratings. The application should allow users to search for recipes by ingredients or cuisine and filter results based on dietary preferences. Do no consider authentication and authorization.
If you need some inspiration, you can take a look at UI example folder, where you can find some generated screenshots of the application. Consider them as a starting point of a more complex application with respect to the one that you have to build, but feel free to design your own UI.
Inside the server directory there is a simple server that you can use to fetch the data. We suggest you to read the instruction to setup it in the server README, you should find all the api endpoints that you need to complete the challenges.
Create the first RecipeBook page: the recipe list! Each recipe have a name, a photo, a list of ingredients and many more details that you can find in the data model. Consider to avoid to show all the recipes at once to reduce the browser load.
Add a search bar and a list of filters based on cuisine, difficulty and dietary preferences (e.g., vegetarian, gluten-free).
Design a form that allows users to add new recipes by providing details such as the recipe name, ingredients, instructions, cuisine type, and dietary preference and an image.
Develop a recipe details page where users can view the full recipe, including ingredients, instructions, and user comments. Enable users to add comments and rate the recipe, displaying the average rating and updating the list of comments.
