Nexus (code challenge)

Your objetive is to create an address book.

This is an example of the end result

Prologue

In this exercise the app is based on: React + styled-components + React-Router. If you are not familiar with them you can check the documentation in the following links:

• React https://reactjs.org/docs/getting-started.html
• styled-components https://www.styled-components.com/docs
• React-Router https://reacttraining.com/react-router/web/guides/quick-start

Around these libraries, we've created a few components and basic structure for the project. These are some of its highlights:

• /components Contains basic components we are using in the project. Here are some files you do not need to worry about: Theme, AddressBook, Layout and Router.

  There is a component called Icon, it uses Material Icons to display different symbols. You can find the complete list of icons in: https://material.io/tools/icons/

• /services Contains the only service we are going to use along the app. You do not need to understand the code, it exposes a basic api (create, delete, read, update) that allows you to handle contacts of the address book.

  Tip: This service includes a random delay in each call

• /test This folder contains an example of a test you can make for the components.

Run

First, clone the repo using the button at the top. Or if you prefer, you can fork the project.

Then, you need to install all the packages by running npm install. If you want to start, you can run the application with npm start. You can pass the tests by typing npm test.

Exercise

Detail view

After starting the application, you can see a list of contacts. If you click in any of them, you'll see a new screen pending of content. You need to create this screen in order to complete this first step of the test. At least, you'll need to display 4 elements of each contact.

You can find the component is used for this screen under folder /components/ContactDetail.

The information provided in each contact is (example):

{
  "gender": "male",
  "name": { "title": "mr", "first": "samuel", "last": "leclercq" },

Optional

• Tests for your components
• Create animations for transitions, etc.
• Loader or similar in asynchronous tasks.
• Whatever you want to add :)
• Feel free to refactor whatever you want.

Search

We need an improvement in our list, we want to be able to filter the list. You can modify contacts service in any way. Remember: You can find the service under /services/contacts.js.

This is an example of the objective

Optional

• Headers for any letter. (This includes sorting of the contacts).
• Index by letter (Right side)

Add or edit contact (optional)

Finally, we need to create a new screen to add a new contact. Feel free to do whatever you want.

Refactor

If you think anything can be improved, please change it. e really like the boy scouts' philosophy: "Leave things better than you found".
