Aura Code Challenge

This challenge will allow you demostrate your knowledge and understanding of node.js. It is intended to be familar, much like a development story that could come up on the job. After you submit the completed project, we will schedule a follow-up code-review.

The Story

Create a lambda-like handler function that can query zip code data in various ways

• handler function is already bootstrapped in src/index.js
• handler is invoked with events (see below) as would come from API Gateway
• it is async and should return an array or throw an error
• the dataset to be searched is included in the src/data.json file
• look at the data and decide how best to utilize it

Acceptance Criteria

• design and define zipcode api
• implement zipcode api handler
• search by full or partial zipcode
• search by full or partial city name
• search by closest latitude/longitude
• filter by additional attributes

Sample Zipcode Object

{
"zip": "01230",
"type": "STANDARD",
"primary_city": "Great Barrington",
"acceptable_cities": "Egremont, Gt Barrington, N Egremont, New Marlboro, New Marlborou, New Marlborough, North Egremont, Simons Rock",
"unacceptable_cities": "Alford, Berkshire Heights, Hartsville, Risingdale, Van Deusenville",
"state": "MA",
"county": "Berkshire County",
"timezone": "America/New_York",
"area_codes": "413",
"latitude": "42.19",
"longitude": "-73.35",
"country": "US",
"estimated_population": "5873"
}

Sample Events

{
"httpMethod": "GET",
"path": "/resource",
"headers": {},
"queryStringParameters": {
"date": "2020-11-13"
}
}

{
"httpMethod": "POST",
"path": "/resouce",
"headers": {
"content-type": "application/json"
},
"body": "{\"title\":\"hello world\"}"
}

Suggestions

• Spend as much or as little time as you wish on this challenge.
• Many implementation details are up to you, be prepared to explain your decisions.
• Details matter, but you should strive to provide a complete feature.
• Use any node packages you want, just remember we want to know what you can do.
• Consider how you can show how your feature should work, and prove that it does work.

Getting started

• this bundle contains a git repository
• work locally, commit changes
• push to your own git service
• share the repository link with us

Package Scripts

command	description
npm run format:fix	format files with "prettier"
npm run test	execute tests with "jest"

Docs for the Solutions - Billi Ramirez

For this challenge I made use of Netlify Functions, it provides a way of doing serverless functions without going through AWS. Here Some Docs

Run This Locally

If you want to run this local, you can install the dependencies:

• npm install
• Install Netlify-CLI to run it locally: npm install netlify-cli -g

Run the API:

• Run: netlify dev and check the PORT for the app
• Go to http://localhost:PORT/api/{endpoint}

Avilable Endpoints:

endpoint description	URL	Additional Notes
Get all the data (10 rows)	/api/zipcodes	-
search by full or partial zipcode	/api/getByPartialZipCode?zip=zip_value	-
search by full or partial city name	/api/getByPartialCityName?primary_city=primary_city_value	-
search by closest latitude/longitude	/api/getByClosestLatitudeAndLongitude?latitude=latitude_value&longitude=longitude_value	-
filter by additional attributes	/api/filter?country=country_value&type=type_value	All Field if you want

Run in Production

You can try this in production with Netlify Functions, the URL is this one: https://lambda-excercise-solidlogix.netlify.app/api/zipcodes
