Frontend Challenge

Frontend Challenge

This test will make use of the Bored API. Feel free to read through the documentation to familiarise yourself with it before beginning.

Throughout the challenge, please feel free to:

  • ask questions (we're here to help you, not drill you).
  • use Google/search engines (you won't be penalised for forgetting some syntax - it happens to us all).
  • code in the IDE/development environment of your choosing (using whatever tools and packages/libraries you would usually use in your day-to-day work).

The brief

  1. Spin up a React application using Create React App, or any other React based FE framework of your choosing). you could also use CodeSandbox if you prefer.
  2. Build a simple page containing:
    • a button that fetches a random activity when clicked.
    • a list of all unique activities that have been fetched.
  3. Allow the user to select the type of activity they want to fetch when they press the button.

Stretch goals

  1. Error handling: display an error when the API response is unsuccessful
  2. Automically fetch a new activity on fetch of a duplicate activity
  3. Apply some styling to the page
  4. Write one (or more) meaningful unit test

Bonus points

  • Typescript
  • Use semantic HTML elements and apply any applicable accessibility attributes to elements, to ensure a good user experience using for users using screen readers
