Unfortunately as I was consuming the web API from the front-end, I was hit with all the usual cross origin request blockers. To get around this I used proxying via the webpack-dev-server, which is fine from a development perspective, but hosting on S3 became a challenge.
Ideally, I would produce a express (or other technology) backend that would act as this proxy for REST requests.
### What's Included?
While there is still so much left that I would like to have completed, the main features provided are:
- SPA style routing
- Responsive layout (using Bootstrap), so it scales well on computers and mobile devices alike
- Extensible React components and stylesheets using babel transpilation and CSS SASS
- Custom made stack, created from the ground up without leveraging
create-react-app - Product searching via the provided API
- Basic pagination
- Product view page showing mutiple available sizes and prices
### How To Get Up & Running
Simply pull this repository down and run:
npm install && npm start
This will pull down alll Node dependencies and spin up the webpack-dev-server.
There's a very lightweight snapshot test included using jest. Given more time I would have separated the logic into more isolated components and wrapped with unit tests. Finallly I would have protected the whole thing with an Enzyme end-to-end automated integration test.
