In this document I will give a bit of a techincal breakdown of the technologies I used and instructions to start and test everything.
The Project is separated in the following folders:
-
Api (All the backend related code is found in that folder)
-
Pages (NextJS Pages folder)
-
Styles (NextJS Pages stylesheets)
-
App (NextJS App components and middleware)
The App has been developed using NextJS
To develop the Server I've used NodeJS with Express and http package to serve both NextJS and Api requests through the express server. For the database I've used MongoDB with Mongoose framework.
To start the app execute the following command:
npm run devI've added the .env file just for demonstration, in real environments this file should not be in the repository.
Also, the app design has been done as a "mobile only" design and has a lot of room for improvements, specially regarding smoothnes and details.
For the server side, in an ideal case I would have liked to test both the router and not the model's logic.
I would have also liked to perform some Integration and unit tests in the App (NextJS).
Unfortunately I haven't been able to do the testing and code comments I woudl have liked due to lack of time and personal issues. All of this has been done in aproximately 6 hours, as I've said, due to lack of time caused by personal stuff.
I am looking forward to discuss my approach and some things I would have done in a real case scenario.
