Starter material for a Node.js exercise based on 2012 NFL data.
If you've stumbled into this repository, its probably because you've been tasked with completing this exercise. These simple instructions should get you started.
Good Luck!
First, you'll need to get set up on GitHub.
- Create a GitHub account (if you don't have one)
- Fork this repository.
- The fork is where you'll work on your solution and its how we'll execute and evaluate your app.
In this repo (or your fork), you'll notice two json files in the /data folder.
This is what we'll be using to populate the app.
Player.2012.json
This json file contains some NFL player data. Sample Player:
{
PlayerID: 12725,
Team: 'BUF',
Number: 99,

}Team.2012.json
This json file contains some NFL team data. Sample Team:
{
Key: 'STL',
City: 'St. Louis',
Name: 'Rams',
Conference: 'NFC',
Division: 'West',
FullName: 'St. Louis Rams'
}Heres where we get to the real meat. You'll be building a simple Node.js app that serves up this player data to an HTML/CSS front-end. The purpose of the app is to browse the player data with a few different levels of filtration.
Heres what the app needs to do:
Requirements
/- The home page of the app should allow the user to select between listing players or listing teams.
/teams- This page should list all the teams.
- The teams should be visually organized by Conferenece and Division.
- Clicking a team name (that has players) should send you to
/teams/[team key]- Note: Only ARI, ATL, BAL, and BUF have players in the sample data.
/teams/[team key]- This page should display the team's info and list all the active players on the team.
/players- This page should list all active players.
- Clicking a player name should send you to
/players/[player id]
/players/[player id]- This page should display a player's profile.
Deliverable
- When you feel like you've completed the exercise, send us a link to your fork and include any special instructions on how to run your application.
Your fork of this repository is where we'll evaluate the solution. We'd prefer if you make frequent commits and push often. This will demonstrate comfort with a 'git-centric' workflow and give us a unique opportunity to see how you approached the problem.
You're not required to send us a link to your fork until you're finished, but feel free to send it to us earlier if you feel comfortable with us taking a sneak-peak.
This isn't a test of your design skills, so keep the UI simple. Here are some sample screenshots to provide some direction. Feel free to replicate these as closely as you want, or go crazy and come up with something on your own.
The Sample was built with with Bootstrap and a minimal amount of custom CSS.
