Project Background
In this series of challenges, we will build the version 5 (V5) of the challenge API.
Code Access
This is a new project.
Here is a similar processor as an example https://github.com/topcoder-platform/submission-processor-es
The code for our challenge API is hosted here:
Repo: https://github.com/topcoder-platform/challenge-api
Branch: develop
The code for our resources API (this is the API the processor will call) is hosted here:
Repo: https://github.com/topcoder-platform/resources-api
Branch: develop
Detailed requirements
1. Create resources
As part of this challenge, you need to build a processor that will listen to specific kafka events published by our challenge API V5 and will call the resources API to create the resources for the specific challenge.
The processor needs to read the projectId from the event payload, call the https://api.topcoder-dev.com/v4/projects/:projectId endpoint to fetch the project details using an M2M token (use this library https://github.com/appirio-tech/tc-core-library-js - appirio-tech/tc-core-library-js.git#v2.6.2 to generate M2M tokens. Valid configs will be shared on the challenge forum) and for each project member, call the resources API to create a resource for the given member + challenge.
Refer to this GitHub issue for details on how to get the required information from a project ID https://github.com/topcoder-platform/challenge-engine-ui/issues/60
You will have to run the resources API (and perhaps the challenge API) locally.
The processor name will be challenge-resources-processor

2. Unit testing
You need to cover this new processor with strong unit/e2e testing. Include both negative and positive tests.
Should you have any questions, feel free to ask on the challenge forum!
What to Submit
Submit your source code in a zip file including a README.md file with detailed instructions on how to set up, start and test the processor
