Hestia Control Center Integration - III (Approver Management)

Welcome to the Hestia Control Center Integration - III (Approver Management) Challenge. In this challenge, we are looking for you to integrate new features in the existing Angular 2+ Application with the backend API.

Let us know any question you have!

Project Overview

Hestia is a wholesale distributor of a variety of plumbing and building-related products. Hestia Control Center will be an internal application that will help Hestia modernize their current spreadsheet process and allow their employees better access to data for reporting and analysis.

Technology Stack

• NodeJS
• Angular 7
• JavaScript

Optional (As APIs are hosted)

• Java 11 (openjdk)
• Springboot
• REST
• Microsoft Azure
• MS-SQL

General requirements

Code Quality

• Important!! Reuse the existing code, components, css, js etc as much as possible instead of duplicating the code.
• If you fix/update any code in the API, you must make sure that you maintain the code quality/documentation standards and the lint test should pass, you must submit the updated api code as part of your submission and don't forget to update all affect assets (like postman files) whenever you make changes to the API code.

Code Formatting

• Make sure code is well documented, all classes / methods / variables / parameters / return values must be documented in every single code file, and appropriate inline comments should be provided too where code is not straightforward to understand.
• Please use clean INDENTATION for all HTML code so future developers can follow the code.
• Use appropriate linters to validate your code.

Framework Specific

• To fetch data from the API create different services. Do NOT use single service for data handeling.
• Imp!: Use Observable & Observable.subscribe() method wherever applicable. You may refer this: https://angular.io/tutorial/toh-pt4#subscribe-in-heroescomponent
• Use Dependency Injection coding pattern.

Layout

• Minimum supported resolution is 1366x768 px. The UI application is fluid, it expands automatically beyond 1366px width.
• Make sure you test the integrated code with chrome browser since the Web UI is supposed to be desktop responsive.

HTML Specific

• HTML should be valid HTML5 compliant.
• All HTML code naming should not have any conflicts or errors.
• Element and Attribute names should be in lowercase and use a "-" or camel naming to separate multiple-word classes (i.e.. "main-content", or "mainContent)
• Use semantically correct tags- use H tags for headers, etc. Use strong and em tags instead of bold and italic tags.
• No inline CSS styles- all styles must be placed in an external stylesheet.

Platform

• Desktop: Chrome Browsers (Mac & Windows).
• All other browsers are out of scope. This is an internal application and client will only be using Chrome.

• 5. The date added corresponds to the similarly named dateAdded property in the response of GET /approvers. The property is a number in epoch format.
• 6. Editing can be performed by calling PATCH /approvers/:approverId
• 7. Removing an approver can be performed by calling DELETE /approvers/:approverId
• 8. Search approver candidates can be performed by calling GET /approver/candidates with a filterString query parameter.
• 9. The full name and email of the approverCandidates are present in the response of GET /approver/candidates
• 10. Once the approver candidates have been selected, the approvers can be added by calling POST /approvers with a list of ids.

5. Submission Guidelines

• Full source code with all the requirements implemented.
• Detailed readme in markdown format that describes how to configure, build and run the app.
• Separate verification document that describes how to verify each of the integrated features

Final Submission Guidelines

• Full source code with all the requirements implemented.
• Detailed readme in markdown format that describes how to configure, build and run the app.
• Separate verification document that describes how to verify each of the integrated features

Licenses & attribution

• Third-party assets used to build your item must be properly licensed or free for commercial use. MIT, some modified BSD, Apache 2 licenses are ok. If a library is not commercial friendly you will need to get our approval first.

FAQs

After submission as a submitter what should be my next step?
