Use case - AirPoll App

Background

AirPoll is a young, international startup which is aware of the fact, that the hazards of air pollution will remain invisible without air quality data. AirPoll has developed and placed air quality monitors all over the world in order to provide the largest air quality database.

You have been hired by the company as a fullstack developer to build an air quality app that makes it possible for everyone to check the air quality in their cities.

Your Tasks

In the Frontend:

The client wants you to build a web application to display the air quality index and other relevant properties for countries, its cities and its locations. The frontend should be user friendly and fulfill the following requirements;

Responsive UI, ensuring adaptive viewport for mobile devices and PC/laptop
Clean and modern design
The following attributes need to be displayed in the order given:
- the location name
- the city and country name
- the air pollution value and its measurement unit and particulate matter parameter
- the location's longitude and latitude value
- the local date and time value
The list must support infinite scrolling and should be sortable by each attribute(ASC and DESC)

Additionally, the client demands a solution capable of filtering the data by;

one country
one city

The project will soon scale and more developers will support you on feature development. Therefore, clean code principles, appropriate test coverage and code documentation are key factors and highly valued.

In the Backend:

The design and implementation of the backend component is part of your responsibility. The air quality data for the web app is provided by the Open AQ Platform API. The backend needs to be capable to;

Fetch data from AQ public API
Insert AQ API data into a database
Provide endpoint to serve AQ data to the frontend
