This repository contains a set of tests that is used to assess the skills of a candidate for a JavaScript position, it has been reduced to a subset of tests that are deemed most relevant for a beginner -> intermediate developer.
To begin the excercises, fork this repository on your own github account, then clone it to your local machine. When you've completed the excercises, simply download a ZIP of your solutions and send it via e-mail to your contact. Please do not submit a public pull request, as other candidates will have access to these.
To use the tests, you will need to install Node -- you can do this via the download page or using Homebrew if you are on a Mac.
Note that on Windows, there are some reports that you will need to restart after installing Node - see #12.
You can clone or download this repo. Once you have done so, from the root directory of the repo, run:
npm install
npm start
You can then view the tests in your browser at http://localhost:4444.
When you visit that page, all of the tests should be failing; your job is to
get the tests to pass. To do this, you'll need to refer to the tests in the
files in the tests/app directory, and edit the files in the app/ directory.
Once you update a test, you can reload the test page in the browser to see
whether it worked.
You can also run (most of) the tests on the command line:
npm test
The command line runner is a work in progress; contributions welcome :)
You can also develop with live-reload and grunt-watch if that's your thing:
npm install -g grunt-cli
npm install
grunt develop
One way of working with these excercises is to open up the app/<filename-a>.js, and the tests/app/<filename-a>.js. By reading the test written in the tests/.. folder and the comments in the app/.. folder, you will be able to understand what is expected of you in order to solve each test.
Having a split screen text editor can greatly help like shown below.
After completing all tasks, localhost:4444 should only show green test cases.
If there's anything unclear in the excercises, if you want to confirm something or any other question - don't hesitate to contact André at [email protected]
The repo includes jQuery, Backbone, and Underscore. Do take advantage of these libraries when writing your solutions!
