Thank you for taking the time to apply for a front end position at Timescale! Because we get hundreds of applicants for the front end positions, we are asking applicants to build a small React movie app. This exercise should take around 3 hours to complete at a time of your choosing and should follow the instructions below. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to use and we'll be happy to help. Happy hacking!
You are tasked with building a movie discovery app built in react. This app will
display movies in a grid and give the user more information when they click on
one of the posters. To fetch the movie info, we will be using The Movie DB
and will include the API key for you to add to the .env in the initial email.
The main features that should be implemented
- On the initial visit to the site, it will show the most recent movies
- Allow users to put in a search term and display the results in the same grid
- When a user clicks on one of the cards, open a modal and display more information about the movie
- Follow the designs in Figma as closely as possible
- Use only the packages provided in the package.json. You dont have to use all of them, but we ask for you not to add any additional
- Site should have a simple responsive design
- Site should work in the latest Chrome on Mac OS
- Fork the repo to your own account, make it public and send us the repo url when you are completed. We will clone and run the site on our local.
