React Test Task

Requirements

We need you to implement a solution to display price tickers data on the UI in realtime.

Price data is available from a locally running service (see information below). Any additional visualisations to indicate how prices have changed would be a plus. Testing is also an important part to this exercise.

Requirements:

• application should connect to the locally running service
• application should render price changes for some tickers in real time

You can get some ideas how your application may look like on the Google Finance page.

As a bonus you can implement (please describe implemented bonus functionality in this file):

• any additional visual effects to highlight positive or negative changes in the prices
• the possibility to switch on/off tickers by user
• the possibility to specify interval time by user
• the possibility to add/remove ticker from watching group
• any additional functionality you consider useful

You should use the next technologies:

• React (preferable with hooks)
• Redux (with Redux-Thunk or any other Redux middleware you are familiar) or any other state-manager library you want
• Socket.io - to connect to the service
• any UI library you want, or you can use just pure CSS
• Testing Library

We will assess the next parts:

• workability: how your application works
• projects structure: how you structure your files
• code quality: how you write clean, readable code (feel free to install and use ESLint and Prettier)
• knowledge React and its ecosystem: how you compose and use libraries together
• testing: how you can test your code

Running the local service

1. Open a new bash shell
2. cd server
3. npm install or yarn install
4. npm run start or yarn start
5. You can visit http://localhost:4000 to check that the service is working correctly and inspect the data it produces.

Run your application

1. Open a new bash shell
2. cd client
3. npm install or yarn install
4. npm run start or yarn start

Run the tests

1. Open a new bash shell
2. cd client
3. npm run test or yarn test

Price Service Usage

URL: http://localhost:4000

Price tickers are real-time via web-sockets.
