# Web Developer Exercise
This is the exercise for the Web Developer position at LOGIC. The objective of this exercise is to create a web application in the programming language of your choice.
## How to submit
1. Create a new **private** repository using this template[^1].
2. Add the following GitHub users as collaborators: [@akalipetis](https://github.com/akalipetis), [@parisk](https://github.com/parisk), [@EvelinaIo](https://github.com/EvelinaIo).
3. Create a new branch for your implementation[^2].
4. Implement the exercise in your new branch.
5. Create a Pull Request with your implementation[^3] and add [@parisk](https://github.com/parisk) as a reviewer[^4].
## Effort
You should spend **no more than 4 hours** working on this exercise. We will by no means police you, but we do trust you to respect and comply with this constraint.
## Deadline
You should submit your Pull Request no later than **7 calendar days** after you receive the email from us inviting you to participate in it.
## Requirements
Your submission should:
- [ ] Implement the spec
- [ ] Document the implementation
## Stretch goals
In case you finish your implementation early, you can:
- [ ] Dockerize your repository
- [ ] Implement at least one automated test (e.g. unit test)
## Spec
This is the functionality of the web application we expect you to create. It should include an HTML page and an API endpoint.
### Home page (`/`)
- This is the page the user sees, when they open the web application
- This page contains a form with:
- A text area
- A submit button
- An empty div element for results
- When the form is submitted:
- The submit button should be disabled and it's text should be set to `Loading...`.
- The value text area should be submitted to the `/api/sort/` endpoint as a JSON list (each line in the text area corresponds to a JSON list element).
- When the API endpoint responds:
- The button should be enabled again, with the original text.
- The sorted results should be displayed the div element for the results.
### Sorting API endpoint (`/api/sort/`)
- This endpoint should receive and array of strings, sort them and return them back
- The sorting algorithm should be Quicksort[^5] (do not use any libraries or built-in functions for sorting)
- The API endpoint should validate that the correct data (array of strings) has been submitted, otherwise it should return a 400 status code
## Documentation
Your submission should be brief, yet clearly documented. In particular:
- **README**: The current README file should be replaced with one containing information only about what this web application does and how to run it.
- **Code**: Each function you write should be documented about what it does and how it works.
## Example
If the user enters the text below:
```
banana
apple
orange
```
The following JSON request should be made:
```
POST /api/sort/
[
"banana",
"apple",
"orange"
]
```
The following JSON response should be returned:
```
[
"apple",
"banana",
"orange"
]
```
And the following text should be displayed when the request completes:
```
apple
banana
orange
```
