Choose 1 of the following web apps below, build it and submit it to giovagnolif@ryanair.com with the subject "Developer Test Web App". ZIP files or public Github URLs will be accepted.
Provide any build commands or runtime requirements (webserver required, extra packages, environment variables) in an INSTALLATION.txt file at the root of the project. The goal is to have the application as easily deployable as possible.
Build a small web app using the live Ryanair API for cheap flight information. The web app should have at least the following components
- A form which allows a user to choose an origin, a destination, and a date period. The origins/destinations should be taken from a web service (see below).
- When a button is pressed, a component which shows all the information relating to the cheapest flight between those points, for the chosen date period
This must be coded as a single page Javascript application.
Points are given for
- Style and colour
- Error handling
- User experience considerations
- Using AngularJS and vanilla JS.
- Modularity (re-usability of component code)
- Responsive design
Extra points are given for
- Automated testing
- Cross browser considerations
- Autocompletion (some data is interlinked, don't make the user think!)
Points will be subtracted for
- Using jQuery :)
Using the Airports codes datasource below, plot a map with information relating to Ryanair's European destinations.
The web app should have at least the following components
- A map view which shows POI's (points of interest) from the Airports API
- A form which allows a user to free text search for a particular city
This must be coded as a single page Javascript application.
Points are given for
- Application performance considerations
- Using AngularJS and vanilla JS.
- Stylising of POIs
- Cross browser considerations & graceful degradation
- Modularity (re-usability of components)
Extra points are given for
- Anything cool you can introduce that we havent requested (vectors?)
- Stylising the map itself
- Making it responsive!
Points will be subtracted for
- Using jQuery :) We don't like jQuery.
Airport (IATA) codes: http://www.ryanair.com/en/api/2/forms/flight-booking-selector/
Cheap flights API:
http://www.ryanair.com/en/api/2/flights/from/DUB/to/STN/2014-12-02/2015-02-02/250/unique/?limit=15&offset-0
where DUB is the originating IATA code, STN is the destination IATA code, the first date range is the start of the period, and the second is the end.
Please note: you may need to use JSONP to request these endpoints, please ensure your code accounts for this.
