The goal of this assignment is to test your problem-solving skills. We want to throw you into an unfamiliar situation and see how you are able to work independently, solving problems you may not always be familiar with.
You will be evaluated on the following:
- Ability to problem solve.
- Frequent and descriptive Git commits.
- Clean, consistent, functional, and commented code.
We do not want to take a ton of your time, so the tasks should be fairly straightforward. Try not to overly complicate them. Let us know if you're completely stumped.
Within this repository, there are two main folders for you: client/ and server/. The client/ folder contains a React website. The server/ project contains a NodeJS server. The projects are already set up with most everything you will need in order to run them. When completed, the React client will make a request to the NodeJS server and will receive a list of US states (along with some accompanying information). The React client will then display that data on a table. See the below image for an example!
Fork this repository (top right of page) into your own GitHub repo. Using a terminal, putty, or something similar, clone the repo to your computer and run the React client project and the NodeJS server project separately. Check out the READMEs in each project for more information on how to run them. Neither project should have any errors when you first run them.
In the server/routes/index.js file, you will find a TODO comment where you should create a GET route with the path '/states'. Make the route return the list of states (const states).
The UI is looking a little plain to me. Can you make the blue header Lexcelon green (const LEXCELON_GREEN) instead? Could you also add the lexcelon logo (found in client/src/images/LexcelonLogo.png) to the header? See target image above for example.
Currently, the values in the 'Percentage' column of the table are shown as 0.####. Make the values show up as a percentage instead (max 2 decimal places). See target image above for example.
Check out each README (client and server) for helpful links to more documentation!
