We were given four days to work on this tech test with the following instructions.
Build a website that shows a list of news headlines from Financial Times. You may use our Developer APIs to achieve this.
Provide a search box for users to search for headlines containing specific words (i.e. searching for "brexit" should return a list of brexit-related headlines).
Optionally, provide pagination for results, at 20 results per page.
This website should be:
- Server-rendered
- Progressively enhanced
- Responsive
- Accessible
For bonus points, the site should:
- Be built using Javascript and node.js
- Be deployed on Heroku
- Not rely too heavily on client-side frameworks (i.e. Angular, React) or libraries like jQuery
- Have a similar look and feel as ft.com
- Be performant over 3G networks
It'd be really awesome if, on top of all that, your site:
- Uses Origami Components
- Works offline
- You can view the app online at headline-news.herokuapp.com
- Download the source for using
$ git clone - Navigate into the root directory in the command line using
$ cd headline-news - Run
$ npm installto install the dependencies - Run
$ npm testto run the tests
Note that you will need to have Node installed first. You can install this following the instructions here
Note that tests may timeout and fail on low-speed internet connections.
