Sai's Completed Excercise Video Link

This repository contains a coding exercise for new developers joining the frontend development team. This version is focused in Vue.

Fork this repository and create your own exercise!

Your mission is to build a small Pokedex application that looks similar to the next (but remember, you have freedom to express yourself!):

List View	Detail View

A video example can be found in the example folder in the root of the directory as example.mov

The features we expect that your app would contain would be:

• Search for Pokemon by text through use of a search bar.
• Filter Pokemon by type using a dropdown.
• Add and remove a Pokemon to and from your Favorites by clicking the heart icon.
• Use tabs to switch between All Pokemon and Favorite Pokemon views.
• Change the view from either a grid or list.
• View Pokemon details using a /:name route.
• Clicking on a Pokemon image or name should navigate to the above route to view the Pokemon details.
• On the Pokemon details page, have a speaker icon that, when clicked, plays the sound of that Pokemon.

In addition to the above features, below are some optional features that we'd love to see:

• Infinitely scrolled or paginated list to handle on-demand data-fetching for the long list of Pokemon.
• Add a quick view button on the Pokemon list items that shows a modal with more information of the Pokemon.
• Add toast notifications to show success or error messages when adding or removing a Pokemon to and from your Favorites.
• Page transitions.

We have provided you with a simple GraphQL server that serves Pokemon data. The server is non-persistent and therefore on server restart, data will reset.

To run the server:

$ cd backend
$ npm install
$ npm start

After running the backend, you can access https://localhost:4000/graphql in the browser, you'll be presented with a GraphQL Playground that allows you to run Queries and Mutations as well as view the GraphQL Schema.

A sample query:

query { pokemons(query: { limit: 10, offset: 0 }) { edges { name } } }

Within the folder frontend there is a simple boilerplate of a Vue app, created using the Vue CLI and based on the default Sites preset which includes: vue-router, vuex, sass, babel, eslint, unit-jest, e2e-cypress. Feel free to change this folder as you wish.

To run the frontend:

$ cd frontend
$ npm install
$ npm run serve

Access your application within http://localhost:8080/.

You are free to use whatever stack you want but what we value the most is Vue. We have put together a boilerplate that includes packages and folders ready to create a flow similar to our app including:

• Vue.
• Vue Router.
• Vuex. This is optional (you can use it to keep the state of the list once you go back from a pokemon details).
• Vue Apollo. This is optional, alternatively you can query the server using Axios.

Use only what you are comfortable with and feel free to use any additional libraries you deem necessary to complete the exercise. You can use any component libraries such as Vuetify, etc. However, we would like to see your CSS skills so make sure you show them to us! (layout, animation/transitions...).

• There is no need to configure a build, the development environment is sufficient.
• It's recommented to use a CSS pre-processor, by default the frontend boilerplate comes with Sass.
• Tests are important and if time allows it, we'd like to see some test coverage.
• Feel free to ask us if you have any doubt or you face any problem!
