A) Describe the strategy used to consume the API endpoints and the data management.
B) Explain which library was used for the routing and why. Would you use the same for a consumer facing app targeting thousands of users? Why?
C) Have you used any strategy to optimize the performance of the list generated for the first feature?
D) Would you like to add any further comments or observations?
Implement a simple mobile cocktails catalogue (master / detail). The catalogue consists of a table view list of cocktails with their name, toppings and photo. Once the user taps on a specific row it will push a new screen with that drink’s details: Name, Photo, Ingredients and Preparation.
1. Cocktails list:
For each row of the list it will display the Cocktail name, photo and ingredients (See wireframe 1).
In the case where there are more than 2 ingredients, add a label that reads "y X ingredientes más" where X
is the amount of extra ingredients.
The API endpoint that has the list of drinks with Name and Photo is:
http://www.thecocktaildb.com/api/json/v1/1/filter.php?g=Cocktail_glass
This returns a JSON list of cocktails, and the information needed in order to populate each row of the list.
{
strDrink, → Cocktail name
strDrinkThumb, → Photo URL
idDrink → Cocktail ID
}
You'll need to decide the approach to get the ingredients data that is not present on this endpoint. You can comment that approach and the implications inside the code and what can be done to improve this.

2. Cocktail detail:
Once the user taps on a row from the list mentioned in the previous feature it will push a new screen with the selected cocktail’s details, where it will show it’s name, photo, ingredients (with the quantity on each case next to it) and instructions (See wireframe 2).
The endpoint to be used for this is the following:
http://www.thecocktaildb.com/api/json/v1/1/lookup.php?i=${idDrink} → Cocktail ID I.g.: http://www.thecocktaildb.com/api/json/v1/1/lookup.php?i=16108
The endpoint returns a JSON with the cocktails info, the needed properties are:
{
strInstructions, → instructions
strDrink, → cocktail name
strDrinkThumb, → photo URL
strIngredient1, → ingredient 1
...
strIngredientN → ingredient N
}

3. Bonus Points: (Optional)
A) Implement a filter by name functionality on the first screen that automatically filters the results while typing, only showing the rows that satisfy the criteria entered by the user.
B) Include test coverage for the most relevant functionalities.
Thank you and looking forward to seeing your great work!
