This coding challenge should allow you to show off your Angular.js and HTML/CSS abilities. Inside the design folder are four images which represent the various states of the table we would like you to build, with data supplied from a REST endpoint.

Two of the images show the initial default view of the data set, with the totals at the bottom of the table, Direct Contractors at the top, and the list of providers sorted alphabetically between them.

The remaining two images show how the table is represented when sorted by columns other than Payroll Provider.

You will need to edit the src/js/apps/platform/reports/labourcost-controller.js file to manage the data returned from the REST endpoint, and any interactions you add to the HTML partial, which is src/js/apps/platform/partials/labourcost-content.html

For matching the visual aspect of the designs, you can extend the existing list-table class in the src/less/tables.less file or create table CSS of your own if you prefer.

• The completed page should accurately represent the design templates
• Clicking the column headings should sort the data from highest to lowest values, or alphabetical as appropriate
• When sorting by Payroll Provider, Direct Contractors should always appear as the first entry
• When sorting by any other column, Direct Contractors should appear sorted with the provider entries

• Clicking column headings should toggle sorting in forward and backward directions for that column
• Show the currently sorted column data in a darker colour
• Mobilise the table for small devices
• Animate the re-ordering of the table rows

The front end is built using node and a gulp build script. Install the latest version of node.js, and gulp, install the packages with npm install and build the static files by running gulp in the root directory.

After a succesful build, the index.html file should also appear in the root directory, along with a static folder containing all the assets.

The back end requires Java 8, and can be run from the backend directory with the command ./run.sh

If it launches correctly you should see the following in the console:
