The goal of this assessment is to implement a todolist backend (API) and/or frontend (UI). The result will then be submitted for code review in order to establish your software engineering level.
- Please put your code on a Git host like Github/Gitlab/Bitbucket etc.
- Please provide clear steps on how to run your application in a README.md.
- Use a package manager (npm/yarn/pip/poetry/pipenv/composer etc...) and do not commit/upload your third party dependencies.
- Write some tests (a medior programmer should know how to do this properly)
- Dockerize your application if you are applying to a DevOps related role.
- Tip: Write code in the way you are already used to do, this assessment is about seeing what you already know, not about learning new stuff.
- For the backend exercise: The reviewer will run your code in order to determine how well you implemented the API spec
Implement the API specified on the bottom of the page.
Implement a UI against the API specified at the bottom of the page. Use https://todo-api.niveaubepaling.nl to develop your user interface against.
Implement the API specified in this document, then implement the UI against that API.
- add authentication to the backend
- Only delete if list is empty, create a force option to force delete a non-empty list
- create an audit trail on a list that keeps track of al mutations of the list itself and it's items
- add authentication to the frontend
- show the audit trail (for frontend-only, the audit-trail is included in the provided development API)
- implement a "move item to another list" by only using POST/DELETE
- Dockerize backend
- Dockerize frontend
- Run in the cloud or on a PaaS.
