Calculate your size with ease!

Apparel and footwear sizing is quite inconsistent and there can be great differences between brands. Size charts can help navigate the landscape when shopping online.

Understanding size charts can be a challenge. The Secret Sauce Size Calculator was born to address this. The calculator helps users by suggesting their best fitting sizes based on their body measurements.

Sizing varies across brands and categories. The calculator is meant to be a standalone tool which means users must pick a brand and a category for which they want to see a size recommendation.

There can be multiple sizes that match their body measurements. Different products use different size labels. It can happen that within the same brand and category some products use numeric labels (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) and some use alpha labels (XS, S, M, L, XL).

An example size chart looks like the following:

The above size chart describes sizes for Diane von Furstenberg dresses. There are multiple body measurements but a single dominant measurement can be used to calculate your best fitting size. This measurement is different for different categories. For example bust/chest can be used for dresses and tops while hip/waist works for bottoms such as pants or jeans.

Create an application that allows users to calculate their sizes.

The application should look exactly like the following:

Suggested size screen:

Additionally you can find the same design on Figma.

You can find the necessary assets in the assets/ directory.

Your task is to implement an application that allows the user to complete the form and get size recommendations. The necessary inputs are the following:

1. Brand. The calculator supports hundreds of brands so /brands endpoint is paginated or can be filtered using the name_prefix parameter.
2. Category. There are only a handful of categories for any brand.
3. Body measurement. This is a single value that describes the dominant measurement for the selected category.

After completing the form the user must be presented with the suggested size labels. The API can return multiple results.

A service for size suggestions is available at https://size-calculator-api.sspinc.io. The API provides all the necessary endpoints such as listing brands and categories and calculating size suggestions. The Swagger specification for the API is available on the aforementioned address. You will need your username and API key to access it.

The API uses HTTP Basic authentication.

var username = "<your username>";
var apiKey = "<your api key>";
var promise = fetch('https://size-calculator-api.sspinc.io/brands', {
    mode: 'cors',
    credentials: 'include',
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'Authorization': 'Basic ' + btoa(`${username}:${apiKey}`)
    }
})

promise
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((data) => console.log(data))

For the programming language JavaScript and TypeScript are our preferred choices. There is no preferred framework use whatever is the most comfortable for you.
