Living Progress - Build - Mentor ME - Services Implementation 2

Project Overview

Mentor ME is a responsive mobile app with the objective at assisting underachieving high school students – particularly those at risk of becoming school dropouts. Mentor ME enables, empowers and inspires new talent by building networking relationships from a list of mentors that assist you sharing ideas, guidance, learning and connecting with other leaders.

The propose of Mentor ME is be more effective, efficiency at mentorship programs and to increase the coverage of current programs where younger adults can have access to volunteer mentors to get guidance and motivation to graduate. The core of Mentor ME is the match between the Mentee interests and opportunities to Mentor Skill.

The whole project consists of two parts:
- The mentor and mentee Android application.
- A set of REST-based services to support data access and updates for the mobile applications.

Competition Task Overview

The purpose of this challenge is to follow the provided architecture and implement the 2nd set of backend services, which should include Institutional Program, Goals, Tasks, Role and Responsibilities, Documents.

Detailed Requirements:

1. Everything from “Entities Class Diagram“ required to implement the services outlined below are in scope.

2.1. InstitutionalProgramService

2.2. GoalService

2.3. TaskService

2.4. InstitutionAgreementService

2.5. ActivityService

2.6. The corresponding specification classes

3. The corresponding controllers for each service above from the “REST API Class Diagram” are in scope.

4.  Here is the list of endpoints corresponding to the Services defined above:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NQTmbDz4iAAjPvgponJ-5nzgVmbXqTffFjQQUPT553E/edit?usp=sharing

5.  There is one additional entity that we needs to include in the data model: a Responsibility.  Please create a new "responsibility" table for this.  A collection of responsibilities are associated to each Program (just like Goals and Tasks).  We need to designate a “description” of the responsibility (VARCHAR(256) and whether the responsibility is assigned to the Mentor or Mentee (assignment - VARCHAR(10)).

6.  Also please add a program_image_url - VARCHAR(256)  to the institutional_program table.  Each program has an an image banner which we’ll need to track.

General Notes:

1. Please follow the provided architecture to implement the services, make sure you go through all documents included in the architecture including the ERD and Application Design Specification.

2. Please properly document all code.

3. Please provide sql script to create database, create tables, drop tables, etc… In addition, you need to provide a separate sql script to populate test data into the database so we can test the api with meaningful data.

4. Please provide ORM mapping file(s) (not needed if you are using annotations)

5. Please provide a new Swagger doc that covers the implemented API, you can use the existing swagger as reference.  You’ll need to provide greater detail in the Swagger doc (e.g. what search parameters are being supported).

6.  Please provide Unit Tests for your code.

7.  You need to adhere to 12-Factor Principles (https://12factor.net/), specifically environment-specific information / configuration parameters should be provided to the application as system variables.
