Challenge de création d'interface de recherche en JavaScript

Coveo Front End Challenge

The challenge

The SAQ is the government-run liquor store monopoly that we have in Quebec, we indexed the different wines and beers there and made it available through our REST Search API. Don’t be surprised if the prices are high!

The challenge, if you accept it, is about building a search interface based on the Coveo REST API.

See the documentation section

You can access this api through https://cloudplatform.coveo.com/rest/search with the token we will provide you. This token grants you access to a Coveo index containing different types of alcohols which are sold in SAQ.

Advice

• Try to design and implement your solution as you would do for real production code. Show us how you create clean, maintainable code that does awesome stuff. Build something that we'd be happy to contribute to. This is not a programming contest where dirty hacks win the game.
• Feel free to add more features! Really, we're curious about what you can think of. We'd expect the same if you worked with us.
• Documentation and maintainability is a plus.
• Don't you forget those unit tests.
