Healthy Foods Inventory Challenge

Description

We are the owners of a vegan-friendly store and would like you to create a visual representation of our inventory.

There are two main task described in the sections below.

Feature 1: Display products in a rich text table

We'd like you to display the products and the nutrition information in a rich table similar to the one below:

We have already set up two API endpoints you can use to retrieve:

• the list of products and their nutrition information: http://localhost:3000/api/products
• and the information related to the product properties we want to display as an array of { label, name } ovjects: http://localhost:3000/api/products/properties; you can use this to map the column names to the nutrition information returned by http://localhost:3000/api/products

Feel free to use the API handlers already build in src/api/products.ts

For displaying the data inside the table you can use a 3rd party tool. Our recommendations are:

• material-ui table - already imported in the repo!
• react-table
• rc-table
• react-data-grid
• reactdatagrid

Feature 2: Compare two products

The second feature is to provide the user a way to compare 2 products in terms of nutrition info.

The user should be able to select multiple products. When two products are selected, a "Compare products" button should show up similarly to the screenshot below:

When the user presses the "Compare products" button, a new table row appears at the top containing a diff between the nutrition information for the selected products. Here's another screenshot for reference:

It should work similarly to git diff functionality:

• the product selected first will show the nutrition values in red with a strikethrough content;
• the product selected second will show the nutrition values in a positive color: blue, green, etc.

Notes:

• the content of the cell should remain unchanged if the nutrition info is the same for both products (e.g.: same amount of protein);
• the name and tags columns can be ignored for the comparision.

How to attempt this challenge:

1. Create a new repo in your account and note the git url
2. Clone this repo and build it following the guidelines below: Building the project
3. Solve the challenge
4. Set your new repo as the origin: git remote set-url origin ${your repo url}
5. Push your solution to your repo
6. You must follow these steps for your solution to be accepted -- forks or other methods will not be considered.
