Frontend Developer Coding Test

Frontend Developer Coding Test

Be sure to read all of this document carefully, and follow the guidelines within.

Context

Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to implement the following mock-up. You will need to leverage an open API for restaurant data to fill in the details and functionality as described below. You are only required to complete the desktop views, unless otherwise instructed.

Use this Sketch file to see button states, colors, and responsive design.

Requirements

Yelp API

You can ask us and we will provide you a Yelp API Key to use for your PR.

NOTE: Yelp's API does not allow CORS. To get around this, you will need to setup a local proxy with CORS support and proxy your requets to Yelp's endpoints.

Functionality

• The filter navigation needs to be able to perform real time filtering on both client side data, as well as server side queries.
• Yelp's /businesses/search endpoint requires a location, please use Las Vegas
• Categories can be pre-filled from the Categories endpoint
• The items should always show 4-6 items per row depending on viewport size. Use your own judgement for when to change per breakpoints.
• Please see the Yelp documentation for more details.

Tech stack

• JS oriented
  • Use React/Angular/Vue.
  • Do not use any boilerplate, such as Create React App
• Feel free to use a preprocessor like SASS/SCSS/Less but do not use any CSS frameworks or libraries.

Bonus

• Also create mobile version included in Sketch comp.
• Write clear documentation on how the app was designed and how to run the code.
• Provide proper unit tests.
• Provide components in Storybook with tests.
• Use Yelp's Graph QL endpoint
• Write concise and clear commit messages, splitting your changes in little pieces.
• Provide an online demo of the application.
• Include subtle animations to focus attention
• Describe optimization opportunities when you conclude

What We Care About

Use any libraries that you would normally use if this were a real production App. Please note: we're interested in your code & the way you solve the problem, not how well you can use a particular library or feature.

We're interested in your method and how you approach the problem just as much as we're interested in the end result.

Here's what you should strive for:

• Good use of current HTML, CSS, and JavaScript & performance best practices.
• Solid testing approach.
• Extensible code.
