We like to evaluate a developer’s skill by looking at actual working software written by the candidate. We will ask you to review your software with us at a detail level during the first half of our interview.

There are 2.5 options we like to offer you to showcase your working software with us:

Bring in some sample code that you have written. That piece of code should:

• be part of an application that is in use in production somewhere
• be responsible for more than one “page” of UI, therefore include logic for transitioning between different screens
• have interaction with some external services or API
• use a modern FE framework, React.js preferred

Understandably you may not be able to show us production code from your current employer. Option 2 is to implement a mini-application that we outline below. We will then review the mini-app during the interview process. We understand that your time is valuable so we do not expect you to spend more than 4 hours of time creating this mini-app.

If you do not have time to actually implement a working mini-app, you can choose to just whiteboard your design and technical approach during the interview.

• Develop a mini shopping application for a ecommerce company.
• Develop three screens
  • (1) product listing screen showing a list of product for purchase, the main user interaction is to order one or more products from this page.
  • (2) a check out screen listing the product and the corresponding quantities the user selected for purchase, and the total price the user will be paying, with a “check out” action to make the purchase
  • (3) a thank you and confirmation screen after the check out, showing some marketing message and confirmation information.
• Use React.js to implement this application
• Use some flux framework to manage data flow
• The product information is given in a json file that you should load via a HTTP get at: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pkshiu/miniapp/master/fixtures/products.json
• Include build scripts (webpack preferred)
• You can load the actual product images supplied in this repo as well.

• You should not spend more than 4 hours on this application
• We are not looking for visual design, simple looking visuals are totally ok
• Ignore user account, logged in user management, etc
• Ignore actual payment processing, the “checkout” process does not have to have any actual side effect. Just navigation to the thank you screen.

If you have questions, please reach out directly.
