This application allows the user to check available restaurants based on up to 5 five criteria: name, distance, rating, price, and cuisine. I've built this project as a webserver because we can create a user interface in the future to improve the user experience.
I made some assumptions based on the assessment description:
- The users must provide at least one criterion, but they can use up to five if they want.
- Search by name and cuisine will return a response when it matches partial or exact.
- We will handle the distance, price average, and rating as Integer values.
- We have some limits for each field:
- distance: 1 to 10
- rating: 1 to 5
- price: 10 to 50
- We will always return the top five results if it's available and we will sort them by distance first, then high rating and last but not least lower price.
Requirements:
- Java JDK 11
Follow the instructions to build and run the project locally.
## It will run the automated tests and build the project
./mvnw clean package
## To up and run the project, run the following command.
java -jar target/restaurant-search-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar --server.port=8081
## Voilà!, you can perform some requests.
curl "http://localhost:8081/restaurant?cuisine=chinese&rating=5"
curl "http://localhost:8081/restaurant?cuisine=American&rating=10" I pretty like did this assessment. I tried to use some design patterns and keep the code simple. I'm going to appreciate it if you give your feedback on my implementation.
Thank you!
