Lepaya Flutter Assignment

Introduction

Welcome! This is the Flutter assignment for engineering positions at Lepaya.

Please read the task carefully and use Dart and Flutter to create a solution that includes the following deliverables:

  1. A Flutter application.
  2. Answers to some technical questions.

Each deliverable will be explained in detail in this document.

To submit your solution, clone this repository, create a new repository on your git provider, and invite lepaya-code-reviewer as a collaborator when you are ready.

Feel free to use any publicly available libraries you are comfortable with and try to apply software development best practices, as you would in any professional project.

Don't stress; the assignment will be evaluated by humans, so a minor issue won't cause automatic failure. This assignment is a starting point for a conversation where you can explain your decisions and receive feedback.

Good luck, and have fun!

The Task

Your task is to create an app that requests and displays the hot, new, and rising lists from the /r/FlutterDev subreddit. When the user clicks an entry on the list, the post should open in a new browser tab.

You can find the Reddit API documentation here and the expected design here.

Deliverables

1. Flutter Application

The application must run on web, iOS, and Android.

It should be well tested, with a choice of unit tests, widget tests, integration tests, or all of them.

1.1. Data Handling

  • Implement the logic to request and store data from Reddit's API.
  • Include a way to request the next page of results, as this will be needed for the next task.
  • If you choose to use or not use a state management library, please provide your reasoning.
  • Refer to the Reddit API documentation and ensure you are calling the correct API for the /r/FlutterDev subreddit.

When you are satisfied with the result, open a PR as you would in a normal workflow.

1.2. UI Implementation

  • Implement the UI according to the Figma file, ensuring it matches the provided designs.
  • The list on the screen should support infinite scrolling, loading more items as the user scrolls.
  • Clicking on a card should open the URL of the post in a web browser.
  • Pay close attention to sizes, colors, and spacings as specified in the Figma file.

Follow the Figma File for specific spacings, colors, and fonts to use.

When you are happy with the UI, create another PR that targets PR #1.1.

2. Answers to Technical Questions

Please answer the following questions in a markdown file called "ANSWERS.md".

  1. How long did you spend on the coding test?
  2. What would you add to your solution if you had more time? If you didn't spend much time on the coding test, use this as an opportunity to explain what you would add.
  3. Describe your final solution in plain English. Point out your design decisions and the reasoning behind them.
  4. Did you learn something new while doing this test? If yes, describe it here.
  5. Describe yourself using JSON.

When ready, create another PR that targets PR #1.2.

Instructions

  1. Clone this repo. Do not fork it.
  2. Create a new Flutter application from scratch that targets web, iOS, and Android.
  3. Create a private repository on your git provider and push the newly created Flutter app.
  4. Create a PR for each subtask (#1.1, #1.2, and #2). Ensure each subsequent PR targets the previous one to maintain a clean diff.
  5. If you wish, add extra features, but separate them into different PRs.
  6. Provide a concise one or two-line command to start your project. If an explanation is necessary, create a HOWTO.md file with instructions on how to run your solution.
  7. When finished, add lepaya-code-reviewer as a reviewer for each PR.
  8. Send an email to your HR contact informing them that you have completed your assessment.

Final Tips

  • Feel free to ask for clarification if something is unclear.
  • Ensure your code is clear, maintainable, and adheres to modern coding standards.
  • Aim to develop an application that is not only functional but also feels smooth and fluid.
  • Avoid over-engineering. "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."
