This repository is my answer to the Silicon Rhino technical assessment

Drinks

This repository is my submission to the home challenge requested by Silicon Rhino.

Notes about the codebase

This TypeScript codebase has been developed using a number of frontend technologies. Here is a non-exhaustive list of them:

• React: To build the interface. As a side note, this codebase uses the hook system.
• Material UI: As a quick UI framework
• Styled Components: To style the components
• React Fetching Library: To fetch data from the REST API. This also integrates a caching layer for improved performances. Under the hood, I have chosen to rely on axios for a more predictable behaviour.
• Parcel: As a bundler and development server.

Development

To run this project locally, you just have to:

1. Download it, or clone this repository

2. Install the dependencies with:

npm install

3. Run the development server:

npm start

If you want a production bundle, you can run:

npm build

Possible improvements

This codebase is very basic as it has been developed in a short period of time, following the challenge instructions. If it were to be improved, here are some options we could explore :

• To write several unit tests to check the non-regression of the components and main functions.

• To have a list of filters with the search bar to get the events corresponding to a type, or a creator for example.

• To add some interactivity with the map:

  • The markers could be clickable.
  • Hovering them we could have a quick preview of the event.
  • When searching / filtering the event list, we could have only the matching ones shown.
