[Interview Test] WebSocket based realtime betting odds

skybet.jsx

My own flavor of skybet's test, in order to prove my knowledge

Let's get started, shall we?

I think you also need these:

• An operating system, why not? You can choose Windows, but it works better on any Unix based system. My choice: Ubuntu! (I don't afford a Mac)
• Your favorite choice of code editor or IDE. Psst, just so you know, I am using Visual Studio Code on Ubuntu. I know, hardcore!
• We also need to use a container, so that our application doesn't escape and go wild. Please call Docker, if your application misbehaves. They know how to take good care of it.
• Oh and last, but not least, our buddy node. The most important entity, since it holds our application altogether. I like to think of it as Atlas, from the Greek Mythology. A true hero, really strong guy!

Do you really want to run it?

• Ok, enough thinking, just clone the repository on your machine
  git clone https://github.com/isbirkan/skybet.jsx.git
• Get yourself into the cloned directory and simply run
  npm run docker:build or docker-compose build
  This will setup the environment for you. Please sit back and sip on your beer. Oops, sorry, I meant tea. It's green tea with bubbles!
• Finished your tea? Let's see the awesome website in action:
  npm run docker:start or docker-compose up
• BOOM! It now runs on your local machine! But how? You said it's inside docker!

            

What I used in development:

• My brain - well, at least a part of it
• React - obviously
• WebSockets
• React Router
• Bootstrap

Since you're such a nice listener, I threw in a bonus section

Best font ever:

• FiraCode with font ligatures support. This will really make your code look neat!
  You can download it from its official GitHub repo or install it through Ubuntu's package manager.
  Then, all you need to do is change the Visual Studio Code settings, in order to support it:
  "editor.fontFamily": "'Fira Code', 'monospace', monospace"
"editor.fontLigatures": true

Awesome extensions I use (alphabetically listed, because OCD):

• Auto Close Tag
• Babel ES6/ES7
• Bracket Pair Colorizer - because I like to unicorn-ise my code, if that's a word
• Color Highlight
• Debugger for Chrome
• ESLint - my superhero
• GitLens - Git supercharged
• Material Icon Theme - need to keep a strong visual
• Path Intellisense
• Prettier - Javascript formatter (standard --fix)
• Remote - WSL - sometimes I just don't feel like restarting to Ubuntu
• Sort lines - still keeping the OCD alive since 2015
• vscode-faker
