Dagens Job Test

Hi applicant!

This repo contains the starter code for Dagens job test, as well as the task description. Please see README.md in server/ and client/ folders on how to install dependencies and start the server and client. The intention with this test is to have a look at how you solve a pretty straight forward problem, and then discuss it afterwards.

• The server has an in-memory "database"-array with 1000 products. This is your database, you are not supposed to set up any database service like MongoDB or write to file or persist data in any way. Simply perform all operations on the in-memory "database"-array.

• We're using the three categories <meat, greens, fish> in the pre-populated database, but feel free to let the user add more categories if you like - no right or wrong.

• Styling/CSS is not important.

• Adding too much abstraction, handling every possible error and adding validation for every input and endpoint won't give you any extra points.

Tasks

1. Users should be able to create products from a form page. The products should be appended to the database (see server/db.js).

2. Create one endpoint to get products. It should be possible to filter by category, maximum and minimum price. The endpoint should be paged with a page size of 24 products per page. No need to write frontend code.

3. Create one endpoint that takes a product id parameter and returns the N products with nearest price in the same category. You can choose N yourself. No need to write frontend code.

Delivery

Clone the repo, solve the tasks and push your code to a public GitHub repo, Bitbucket repo, or similar. Send a link to the solution to Dagens.
