Objective: Build an Algolia-based auto-completion menu for e-commerce

Instructions:

• Download the Bestbuy dataset used by our instant-search demo: data.json
• Imagine what would be the best auto-completion menu a end-user would have on an E-commerce website (both the UI & the UX matter)
• Implement a state-of-the art frontend application using at least:
  • a general build system (Grunt, Gulp, ...),
  • a CSS preprocessor (SASS, LESS, PostCSS, ...),
  • and the AlgoliaSearch JS API client v3.

Evaluation criteria:

• search experience: relevance, UI & UX
• quality of the code
• index schema

Deliverable:

• create a Github public repository to host the code
• publish it using GitHub's gh-pages
