Instructions

The goal of this exercise is to create both the backend and frontend of a calendar application using Ruby on Rails.

The Task

In this task we are building a single month view of a calendar for the current month. Here you have the design we are expecting for this task.

Features & Requirements:

• Reminder
• • Ability to add a new “reminder” (max 30 chars) for a user entered day and time.
• • Display reminders on the calendar view in the correct time order.
• • Allow the user to select a color when creating a reminder and display it appropriately.
• • Ability to edit reminders – including changing text, day and time & color.
• • Ability to delete reminders.
• • We need to persist the reminders in the database
• Allow the user to choose any month other than the current month.

Notes:

1. We expect the solution to be as close to the final design as possible, but we will understand if there are small differences.
2. Make sure to provide a tutorial on how to run your application
3. Feel free to use any database
4. Scaffold for tests and controllers aren't allowed, but it's encouraged for models

Yes

How do you evaluate the exercise?

For every exercise we have two senior backend engineers from our team reviewing the code and the functionality and giving a score for each line item as shown in the previous table.

How can I deliver the exercise?

To deliver the exercise, you should clone this repository and work on a new branch. When you'll consider it completed, just push the branch and open a Merge Request. Bonus points if you deploy it somewhere so we can check it running.

Will I have access to the evaluation?

By default we only send the result, however you can feel free to request the full evaluation and we will share it with you as well as the final score.
