If you're applying for a React development position at World Wide Technology Application Services then this is the repo for you!
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to show album titles and images in a list view. The album title and image should be retrieved from https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/. The project already contains a base URL (the one above!) and endpoint URLs for this task.
BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS:
- Remove all occurences of the letter "e" (case-insensitive) from album titles
You are free to change anything about the current code so long as you accomplish this goal. Make it read and function the way you want it to, but bear in mind we’re looking for people who understand what best industry practices look like in React.
NOTE: The code in its current state does not compile, that's on purpose: on a real-world project you might need to pick up code from another member of your team and continue from where they left off, and they may not have completed their thought.
Q: What if I want to use 3rd party libraries?
A: Do it! You can change anything about the current code so long as you accomplish the overall goal, show the album titles, and images, in a scrolling list. If there's a library that will help you get the job done, use it! React apps are frequently built using a wide variety of open-source libraries.
Q: JsonPlaceholder is not working, what do I do?
A: It only serves up static data, it's probably working, double check. If for some reason the service really did go down use a different one like:
- gorest the other fake API that looks exactly like JsonPlaceholder
- reqres the fake API
- the marvel comics API
- Literally anything that returns images as URLs in a JSON object
- Wiremock or a similar library that fakes JSON responses
Q: This was built with a different version of React than I use, what do I do?
A: Feel free to copy the files to a different React version, that's completely fine. However we do ask you don't use such an outdated version that we'll have a hard time building your project.
Q: What if I want to go above and beyond?
A: There'll be plenty of time in later interviews to showcase your skills, don't worry about it right now.
But I really, really want to
A: You can change ***ANYTHING*** about the codebase so long as you accomplish the overall goal. Seriously though, we give you plenty of opportunity to showcase your great engineering skills later on.
