Movie Catalog
Scenario
You are an avid movie collector and have had a lifelong dream of compiling the greatest ensemble of movies known to man; however, your collection is too extensive for any human to scan through manually.
Task
Your task is to demonstrate your skill by designing and implementing single page app for a movie catalog.
Features
- SEARCH: The catalog should allow you to search movies by name.
- FILTER: The catalog should allow you to filter by genre
At EquitySim, we are using a combination of React/Redux to build out our frontend but you may use any build tools and frontend framework/templating language to accomplish the task.
TIP: Keep extensibility in mind when architecting your code, to allow new features to be added.
Getting Started
For this task you will need:
In order to request for the movie data, you will need to run the node server that is included in this package. By default, the command to do this is:
$ npm start
Once the server is up, you may make a GET request for the data by hitting http://localhost:3000/api/movies.
You can expect the data to be in the following JSON format:
