Maker's Row Internship Take Home Assignment

Welcome to the Maker's Row internship take home assignment!

Before getting started, make sure you have node.js installed on your machine. If you don't have node.js installed you can find an installer here. You should Download the latest version, v4.4.7.

About the app:

This app is a simple api that allows users to create and retrieve factories. It uses the express.js framework and implements the json-fs-store library to store data. The tests for the app, found in the /spec folder, use the jasmine testing framework.

How to run the app

Clone this repo Run:

$ npm install
$ npm start

And then navigate to http://localhost:3000

How to run the tests

$ npm test

Resources

/factories

GET: Retrieves an array of all of the factory objects

POST: Creates a new factory object
    Expects:
        {
            name: 'Factory Name'
        }

/factories/{id}

GET: Retrieves factory object with the id {id}

What you need to do:

• Extend the factories resource to include the following fields email, phone_number, city, state
• Create a new resource for brands. This resource should have the endpoint /brands. The brands resource should have the same fields as the factories resource.
• We want to store both brands and factories in a companies table. For this exercise the companies table is represented by the json files in the /store/companies directories. A company_type property should be used to specify if the company is a brand or factory. Change the factory and brand resources to account for these changes.
• Edit the tests to account for these changes.
• Push the altered application to a public repository in your GitHub account, and send a link to that repository to [email protected]

Bonus

• Implement a delete method on the brand and factory resources.
• Improve the app any way you see fit
