Using Drupal or Wordpress, create a basic website where the front page contains a simple form to convert a decimal amount of US Dollars to an equivalent amount of BitCoin. Please leverage a third-party API to do so.
- Select a CMS of your choice - either Drupal or Wordpress.
- Create a module/plugin that enables a form on the front page of the site that accepts a decimal based argument of a Dollar amount in USD.
- Submitting the form sends a request to a third-party API to convert the submitted Dollar value into the equivalent amount of BitCoin and displays the result on the page.
- Enabling the module/plugin should create the form. Disabling it should remove the form.
- Create a means for an authenticated user with the appropriate permissions (administrator) to store any API connection details required to communicate with your third-party API (e.g., API Key) in the database.
- Your module should pull this value from the database when making a request to the API. Connection details like API keys or passwords should NOT be stored in your module.
- When finished, check in your code to a public GitHub repository and send the URL to your hiring manager.
- Bonus points if you create a live demo of your app in a hosting environment.
