Challenge

Coachify is the first platform specifically designed to help video game coaches manage and grow their business, and as such it's incredibly important that we provide coaches with the tools they need to help their students progress. One of our coaches' key needs is the the ability to create and manage goals. With that in mind, the main objective of this challenge is to build a web application that allows users to create and manage goals.

Core Objectives

• Create a web application that allows users to create and manage goals
• Use the FeathersJS client exported from ./src/api.ts
• Use the key dependencies that have been provided in this boilerplate: NextJS, FeathersJS, TypeScript

Creating a new goal

• GIVEN I am on the homepage
• THEN I should see a form to create a new goal

Viewing existing goals

• GIVEN I have created a goal
• WHEN I visit the homepage
• THEN I should see the goals I have created
• AND I should see the status of each goal
• AND I should see any notes associated with that goal

Updating a goal

• GIVEN I have created a goal
• WHEN I am viewing that goal
• THEN I should be able to edit that goal
• AND I should be able to add notes to the goal
• AND I should be able to update the status of the goal

Filtering my goals

• GIVEN I have created goals
• WHEN I am viewing my goals
• THEN I should be able to filter goals by their status

Bonus Objectives

• Add automated tests
• Add a hook to the FeathersJS goals service, defined in ./src/api.ts, to perform data validation

Guidelines

• Develop your solution following the same best practices you would follow for a business critical production-bound web application.
• Please commit early and often. We are interested in more than just the final solution.
• Feel free to add NPM dependencies as you see fit.
• Please do not add additional system dependencies. (e.g. no databases, docker images, etc.)
• You're welcome to use any resources available to you. This include Google, StackOverflow, etc. All we ask is that you develop your own solution and do not plagerize/copy pre-existing solutions.
• Once finished, please submit your solution by either:
  • compressing it and sending it via email
  • pushing it to a private repository and sharing the link via email

Review Process

Upon submission, we will be reviewing several qualities of your application. The following is a non-exhaustive list included for your consideration:

• general approach to problem solving and web application development
• use of native modules
• use of external modules (npm dependencies, cdn inclusions, etc)
• code style and consistency
• logical correctness
• application performance
• commit frequency and consistency
• simplicity and flexibility
• testability and test coverage
