# Stan Coding Challenge



> Welcome to the Stan Coding Challenge!



## Overview



To complete this challenge, you will need to write a simple [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/) based web app, and provide us the source files to be built.



The purpose of this challenge is to assess your **skills and approach to composing a simple web app** given a set of screens and an API feed. We will also assess the **generated HTML, CSS, and JS** output.



This challenge is expected to take about 2-4 hours.



## The Challenge



It's pretty simple. Using the provided screens as a reference, you'll need to build a set of React components to render the app. You'll also need to request a JSON feed, filter that data, and use the relevant fields.



Although this is a basic exercise, we'll be looking for **simple, well-designed, performant, and tested code** in the submission.



Please include a `README` with setup instructions, and any tests or other documentation you created as part of your solution.



Also, add the following info to your `README`:



- How did you decide on the technical and architectural choices used as part of your solution?

- Are there any improvements you could make to your submission?

- What would you do differently if you were allocated more time?



## Details



You will need to build the following 3 pages with React:



- A "Home" page

- A "Series" page

- A "Movies" page



The deployable solution should be built in a folder named **`dist`** with an entry point file of **`index.html`**.



Please create components for each part of the page (eg. header, content, footer, etc).

Assets are provided in the `assets` folder.



The pages should also be usable on mobile and tablet devices.



You can assume that you do not have to support legacy browsers without features such as `fetch` or `flexbox`.



### "Home" Page



Refer to the [screens/1-home.jpg](./screens/1-home.jpg) screen.



This will be your `index.html` screen.



You will need to display 2 tiles, which link to the "Series" page and the "Movies" page.



### "Series" and "Movies" Pages



Refer to the [screens/2-series.jpg](./screens/2-series.jpg) and [screens/3-movies.jpg](./screens/3-movies.jpg) screens.



For each page you will need to fetch this JSON feed [feed/sample.json](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StreamCo/react-coding-challenge/master/feed/sample.json), then:



- Display the first 21 `entries`

- Where the entry has a `releaseYear` attribute value >= `2010`

- Sorted by the `title` attribute value in ascending alphanumeric order



For the "Series" page filter on:



- Where the entry has a `programType` attribute value of `series`



For the "Movies" page filter on:



- Where the entry has a `programType` attribute value of `movie`



The attributes you should use to display the entries are:



- `title`

- `images` → `Poster Art` → `url`



You will also need to handle the loading and error states of fetching the JSON feed:



- "Loading" state [screens/1.1-loading.jpg](./screens/1.1-loading.jpg)

- "Error" state [screens/1.2-error.jpg](./screens/1.2-error.jpg)



## FAQ



### What language, framework, build tool... should I use?



You may use whatever you like as long as the solution is built using [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/) or an equivalent library.



We prefer it if you did not use any third party CSS frameworks.



We also prefer the use of minimal dependencies.
