Take Home Assignment
This take-home assignment aims to assess your React development skills, focusing on
building interactive and dynamic components. You will create a flowchart builder application
that allows users to create, edit, and visualize flowcharts within a web browser.
Project Overview
Build a flowchart builder application using React. The application should provide a user
interface for creating and manipulating various flowchart elements (nodes, connectors).
Users should be able to add, remove, and modify flowchart elements and change their
properties (e.g., shape (optional), text, color).
Requirements
● Component Structure:
○ Break down the UI into reusable components (e.g., Node, Connector,
Canvas, Toolbar).
○ Consider using functional components and hooks.
○ Implement a clear component hierarchy and state management strategy.
● Data Structure:
○ Define a data structure to represent the flowchart, including nodes,
connectors, and their properties.
○ Consider using a graph data structure for efficient manipulation.
● User Interface:
○ Create an intuitive and user-friendly interface for creating and editing
flowcharts.
○ Implement drag-and-drop functionality for nodes and connectors.
○ Allow users to resize and reposition elements.
○ Provide options for customizing node and connector appearance.
● Functionality:
○ Implement basic flowchart elements (start, end, decision, process, etc.).
○ Allow users to add, remove, and connect nodes.
○ Implement undo/redo functionality.
○ Provide options for saving and loading flowcharts.
● Performance:
○ Optimize the application for smooth performance, especially when dealing
with large flowcharts.
○ Consider using virtualization techniques for rendering large numbers of
elements.
Evaluation Criteria
● Code Quality:
○ Code readability, maintainability, and adherence to React best practices.
○ Proper use of React hooks and context (if applicable).
○ Efficient use of state management.
● Component Structure:
○ Logical component breakdown and reusability.
○ Effective use of props and state.
● User Experience:
○ Intuitive and user-friendly interface.
○ Smooth interaction with flowchart elements.
● Functionality:
○ Accurate implementation of required features.
○ Correct handling of user interactions.
● Performance:
○ Application performance under various conditions (e.g., large flowcharts).
○ Optimization techniques used.
● Creativity and Innovation:
○ Additional features or improvements beyond the basic requirements.
○ Demonstration of problem-solving skills.
