Assessment Requirement

Description

The assessment has two parts:

Part 1

The candidate needs to implement a backend REST API - GET /api/products/ which returns a list of all products.

Part 2

The candidate needs to display all products in Wordpress page then the public user is able to see a list of products on Web page.

This is a take-away assessment should take no longer than 2-3 hours.

Implementation Details

Part 1

1. Please Fork this repo and install this laravel repo locally

2. The code has provided a simple structure for you to start:

   • A ProductApiController.php that contains a function which requires you to implement the logic
   • A ProductApiRequest.php
   • A Product.php eloquent model
   • A registered route in api.php (we do not require any auth or middleware in this assessment)
   • A seeder class for you to seed initial Product data for live testing
   • A factory file ProductFactory.php - use it for mock

3. Please finish API endpoint by satisfying the following requirements:

   The API needs to satisfy

   GET /api/products
   

   • supports query filter: is_active only accepts 1 or 0 and its required
   • support query validation by using ProductApiRequest.php
   • products should not display hidden_information field
   • Write a feature test for the API. The test needs to check status and response data.

Part 2

1. Install a fresh wordpress project on your own
2. Call the API that you have done in Part 1
3. Display result in a wordpress page as HTML format:

<ul>
    <li>Product 1</li>
    <li>Product 2</li>
    ....
</ul>

Submission

Part 1

1. Adding all your notes into this readme
2. Send us your forked repo link

Part 2

1. create a public repo under your github account for the WP project, and send us the link
2. Include any special setup details if you need to tell us in the readme

Bonus

If you think the task can be done within a short time frame, you can consider adding your own features to the assessment.

Some potential add-ons:

• Add filter option on is_active in wordpress page
• Add wildcard search on name filter in API or in wordpress page
• Or any other idea you could come up with

You can be creative and expand functionality as long as requirements are met.

Happy Coding!
