To test how quickly you can pick up a new project and follow requirements we ask candidates to do the following project. You have a choice of web frameworks you can use:

• Play Framework 2 : (Play 2.x https://www.playframework.com/download)
• Spring WebFlux : https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/web-reactive.html

that meets the following requirements:

• Fork this project
• Start project in the chosen framework
• Provide an API which accepts a list of json 'customer' objects in the body of a POST request (see json example attached).
• The API should take this list of objects and sort them by due time then return this back as a sorted json array.
• Should use the Joda time (http://www.joda.org/joda-time/) library to handle times with timezones.
• The API should be non-blocking and be as efficient as possible in its sorting.
• We'll test this by load testing the project with a few hundred users to see how it performs (if you have time try using Jmeter to test your implementation).

Bonus points:

• Some tests to ensure your code is working as expected
• An API is great, but how about adding some UI for easy upload of the file.

From Viktorija:

to start the spring boot application:

• cd java-play-codetest/customers
• mvn clean install

new tab,

• cd java-play-codetest/customers
• mvn spring-boot:run

to run the react app open a new tab:

• cd java-play-codetest/customers-board-react/
• npm install
• npm start

to run the cucumber tests open a new tab (after the application started):

• right click on the file "cucumber-tests/src/test/resources/features/customers.feature"
• or cd java-play-codetest/cucumber-tests
• mvn test
