The frontend application has been engineered to mimic code design and architecture of a production scale app. The feature requested may be straightforward, but my goal is to project this feature as a slice of a larger application.

• A Search Input to search for Players stored in archive by their ID and only show active players, using two APIs

  • /player/data/:playerId - to check if it's active/inactive.
  • /player/profile/:playerId - to get full data.

• Mobile + Tablet Responsive + Highly Modular Frontend.

• Lean NodeJS backend to serve the json data.

• Unit Tests.

• Bonus Features:

  • Dark Mode Support 🌙🌚
  • stale-while-revalidate data fetching

• Please use node v12.19.0 and npm v6.14.8. I could have shipped a docker image but ... ☕.
• Clone the repo of course and cd path/to/repo 😉
• npm i
• npm run fullstack to fire off both frontend and backend concurrently. (I used concurrently npm package).
• Alternatively 💅, npm run frontend for frontend and npm run backend for backend.
• Frontend : http://localhost:3000
• Backend : http://localhost:3001
• Data can be looked up here
• npm run test for all unit test

• React : Setup using an ejected Create React Application to have more control over webpack. I have only added aliases for better path management as of now.
• React-Redux, State Management Library : The feature could easily be implemented without a state management library, but as mentioned above, the goal is to project the feature as a slice of a larger application.
• Material-UI: For CSS-In-JS, Theme management, Responsiveness, and Re-usable UI Components. Note: Except for TextField Search Input, rest of the UI components have been developed in this application. A larger application always uses a design system underneath and every design system (bootstrap, ANT, Material-ui etc) has helper libraries to manage boilerplate. I've documented under-the-hood implementations of these helper utils as a means to communicate I'm well aware of these concepts but just not reinventing the wheel at the moment.
• Axios: For ajax
• Reselect: Selector Library for memoization.
• redux-actions: For Enforcing FSA Compliance in redux actions.
• babel/plugin-proposal-export-default-from: For export x from 'y';
• babel/plugin-proposal-async-generator-functions: For async await in older browsers.
• React Testing Library + Jest

• Express + NodeJS: The most common NodeJS REST framework.
  • compression: For on-the-fly gzip compression.
  • cors: For Allowed-Origin-Access-Control as *.
  • http-status: For All HTTP Status Constants
• Winston: For logging purposes. Currently only logging on Console but can use any other Transport mechanism in a larger application. (LogStash perhaps 😉)
• Just JSON Files for persistence layer: Well, I could go all the way with PSQL/MongoDB etc, but should I? Please let me know.
