Interview Coding Challenge

Welcome to the Fluint.io hands-on coding assignment. The goal of this assignment is NOT to create a production-level service but to allow us to see how you naturally go about implementing solutions to problems.

Prerequisites

The following tools need to be installed on your development machine:

• Docker Desktop
• docker-compose

Submission Steps:

1. Fork or degit (link https://github.com/Rich-Harris/degit) this repository.
2. Evaluate the README.md and solve the issues laid out in the scenario.
3. Send any questions for clarification to jon@fluint.io.
4. Submit your application by emailing a link to your solution and resume to jon@fluint.io.

The Scenario

Build a simple form that allows users to create, edit, and delete data.

This will involve:

Frontend (fe/):

Create UI with forms to add/edit data. Display list of data. Ability to delete data.

Backend (be/):

APIs to create, read, update, and delete data. Store data in a MongoDB database. Database (mongodb/):

Collect data with fields like id, and content.

The Environment

This is a monorepo for an application with a Next.js frontend and a Nest.js backend. All of the core scaffolding is in place that is needed to have these projects running locally. Everything is encapsulated in a docker-compose environment (including CLI containers), so the only dependencies needed to run the application are Docker Desktop and docker-compose.

The Mongoose configuration is in place for communication between the BE Nest.js project and the FE project.

Important Commands

Install dependencies

For the FE project:

Copy code

docker-compose -f docker-compose.cli.yml run --rm fe-cli npm install

For the BE project:

Copy code

docker-compose -f docker-compose.cli.yml run --rm be-cli npm install

Start the application Copy code docker-compose up

Note: This will start up the application and make the frontend of the application available from a browser at http://localhost:8080/, and the backend API is available at http://localhost:3000/. Changes on the backend will be hot deployed to the container.

Stop the application

Copy code

docker-compose down

Install a new library

For the FE project:

Copy code

docker-compose -f docker-compose.cli.yml run --rm fe-cli npm i For the BE project:

Copy code

docker-compose -f docker-compose.cli.yml run --rm be-cli npm i

Bash for a project

For the FE project:

Copy code

docker-compose -f docker-compose.cli.yml run --rm fe-cli bash For the BE project:

Copy code

docker-compose -f docker-compose.cli.yml run --rm be-cli bash

NOTES

• IMPORTANT: CORS is not enabled so make sure to use mode: 'no-cors' on all api calls to the BE
• Commands from the compose file docker-compose.cli.yml run in a container but are mounted to your local file system.
