Congratulations on reaching the technical challenge stage of the interview process at Qogita.
We are excited to potentially have you join the Engineering team, where you will work alongside brilliant people to build a revolutionary global wholesale B2B platform.
This challenge is built around the front-end stack we use at Qogita – TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS.
You are expected to use the tools and techniques you are most comfortable with to produce good quality code that can be understood by engineers of varying experience.
Please address the functional requirements listed in the task below, and any non-functional requirements you see as appropriate.
Your task is to expand this project to display products, and allow customers to add them to a shopping cart. You may use third party libraries to assist you. We expect you to prioritise the usability of your user-interface over how pretty it looks.
This task should take 3-4 hours to complete, and you will be given a week to do this. You should commit your code to a repository of your choice, and then share this with us. Please also document any assumptions you make.
- Display products retrieved from the
/productsendpoint. See API. - Customers should be able to browse all available products (there are 100 in total).
- Customers should be able to add products to a shopping cart.
- Display the products the customer has added to their shopping cart.
- Customers should be able to remove products from their shopping cart.
- The shopping cart's value should be prominently displayed.
- Customers should be able to change the quantity of a particular product in their shopping cart.
The existing code includes a development environment, and an API with product data for you to interact with. The relevant API response types can be found in src/types.ts. Please do not use data/products.json directly.
cd frontend-challenge
npm installStart the project in development mode.
npm run devBuild and start the project in production mode.
npm startThe API can be interacted with via http://localhost:3000/api and has the following endpoints:
The /products endpoint accepts GET requests and will return the first page of 20 products. To retrieve a different page of 20 products, you can pass the page query parameter (e.g. /products?page=2).
The /products/[gtin] endpoint accepts GET requests and will return a product matching the GTIN (e.g. /products/8005610625720). If no product is found, the API will respond with a 404 status.
