Front End Developer Challenge

You will be consuming the Star Wars API(https://swapi.dev/) to show some items in a table. The table will be sortable, and will be searchable. We are looking to evaluate your front-end dev skills in HTML, CSS, and JS.

• Include the Font Awesome icon font in your CodePen (https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css)
• Include the Titillium Web font from Google Fonts (https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Titillium+Web:200,600)

Functionality/Acceptance Criteria

• Show the list people from https://swapi.dev/api/people/ in a table

• The table should be paginated with 10 records in a single page

• The table should sortable and searchable

• Each entry should include all the attributes from the API response

• Each entry should also have an icon as follwing

  • If a droid, show the Font Awesome Android icon
  • If a human, show the Font Awesome user circle icon
  • If any other species, show the Font Awesome question mark

• Show error state if the API is down

  • Show the Font Awesome exclamation circle icon

• Search (by name) and show the first results page from https://swapi.dev/api/people/?search=. Example query would be https://swapi.dev/api/people/?search=luke, which returns 1 result (Luke Skywalker)

  • Show the loading state while the request is processing
    • Show the Font Awesome spinner icon
  • Display the current search query in the search input
  • Searching should clear the sorting selection
  • Clearing the search input should show the first page again

• Show empty state if there's no results from the search API

  • Show the Font Awesome warning icon

• Show cards containing counts for total results, total droid, total human (same way for all types of species)

• Do not use any database or full text search engines
• If you make any assumptions while solving the exercise please mention them clearly in the readme file

What we are looking for

• Simple readable code How well structured it is? Clear separation of concerns? Can anyone just look at it and get the idea to what is being done? Does it follow any standards?
• Correctness Does the application do what it promises? Can we find bugs or trivial flaws?
• Memory efficiency How will it behave in case of large datasets?
• UI/UX Aspect How well your app presents ?
• Testing How well tested your application is? Can you give some metrics?
