software-engineering-technical-challenge

This challenge involves implementing the missing parts of a To-do list app. You can search for the TO-DO content in the monorepo to find your objectives.

What's it about?

• it's not about completing everything
• it's about understanding how you...
  • work
  • communicate
  • prioritize
  • organize
  • think
  • deal with problems
  • handle pressure

Challenge rules

• you need to share your entire screen
• you are allowed to ask as many questions as you'd like
• you are allowed to use any resource you'd normally use during regular work, such as Google, StackOverflow, AI, etc
• you are allowed to install any additional tools, packages, libraries, etc

Monorepo structure

This is a turbo monorepo. There are two packages on which you will be working:

• ./packages/api - a hapi HTTP server
• ./packages/ui - a vite React SPA

Turbo commands

At any moment, you can run yarn turbo <COMMAND>. The available commands are:

• dev: starts the development server
• build: builds the project
• type-check: checks the project types with TSC
• lint: lints the project with ESLint
• format-check: checks the code format with Prettier
• format: formats the code with Prettier
• migrate: creates and seeds the database

Getting started

Create a new Codespace:

Once the Codespace is built, it will automatically install dependencies and boot up the development server for you.

IMPORTANT: Once inside the Codespace, go to Ports and change api (1984)'s Visibility from Private to Public.

Working locally

You can run the project locally if you don't want to use a Codespace.

Dependencies

1. yarn

   See https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install.

Booting up the development server

1. Install project dependencies

   yarn
   

2. Create and seed the database

   yarn turbo migrate
   

3. Start the development environment:

   yarn turbo dev
   

Tools and tips

• You can use npx prisma studio from ./packages/api to quickly inspect the database
• You can use postman to interact with the api by using the collection located at .packages/api/api.postman_collection.json

Take a deep breath and just be yourself! Good luck! :-)
