uchibeke commented 9 months ago

Description

This challenge is open to anyone who is interested in a Fullstack Developer role at Chimoney. Please, feel free to complete this challenge and invite @uchibeke to the Github PR to evaluate it. Feel to to have it in a public or private repo (invite @uchibeke as a Collaborator)

Welcome to the Chimoney Fullstack Developer Challenge! This challenge is designed to assess your skills and abilities across various aspects of fullstack development, including frontend and backend development, API integration, security, and understanding of payments and web3. You will have 7 days to complete the challenge (Ping @uchibeke on the day you decide to start the Challenge).

Challenge Overview:

You are tasked with building a simple deployed web application that allows users to create and manage their accounts, send and receive payments, and view transaction history. The application should be built using React with Next.js (or similar frameworks) on the frontend and Node.js with Express on the backend. Firestore/Supabase (for simplicity or another DB of your choice) will be used as the database, and the application should be deployed using Vercel/Render/Heroku/AWS/GCP etc. It should be live and viewable and have CI/CD.

Requirements:

User Authentication: Implement user authentication using Firebase Authentication or similar. Users should be able to sign up, log in, and log out securely.
Dashboard: Create a dashboard page where users can view their account balance, recent transactions, and perform actions such as sending and receiving payments. This could be a call to Chimoney to pull user transactions.
Send Payment: Implement a feature that allows users to send payments to other users and non-users using Chimoney's API. Users should be able to specify the recipient's account ID (through a search), email or phone number and the amount to send.
Receive Payment: Implement a feature that allows users to receive payments from other users. When a payment is received, it should be reflected in the user's account balance and transaction history. Consider allowing users receive Payments to their email or phone (powered by Chimoney) and cashing it into their Account in the Web App.
Transaction History: Create a page where users can view their transaction history, including details such as transaction date, type (sent or received), amount, and recipient/sender information. This could be a call to Chimoney's API to pull user transactions and rendering this is a standard table using a table module of your choosing.
Security: Ensure that sensitive user data such as passwords and payment information is stored securely and encrypted. Implement necessary security measures to prevent common vulnerabilities such as XSS and CSRF attacks.
API Integration: Integrate Chimoney's API for sending and receiving payments. Refer to Chimoney's API documentation for details on endpoints and authentication.
CI/CD: Set up continuous integration and deployment using a available tools. Automate the build and deployment process to ensure smooth and efficient deployment of updates.
Ambition and Alignment: Demonstrate your ambition and alignment with Chimoney's values of excellence, speed, and impact by delivering a high-quality, well-designed application that meets the requirements and exceeds expectations.

Evaluation Criteria:

Your submission will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

Attention to detail and adherence to requirements
Critical thinking and problem-solving skills
Ability to use React (Next.js or similar), Node.js, and Express (other backend tools) effectively
Implementation of Chimoney's API and integration with the application
Security measures implemented to protect user data
Understanding of payments and fintechs and their implications for the application
Implementation of CI/CD for automated deployment
Architecture, quality of code, including readability, maintainability, and documentation in the readme
Overall ambition and alignment with Chimoney's values

Submission:

To submit your project, please mention @uchibeke in the GitHub repository containing your codebase. Include all required information in the PR along with any necessary instructions for running the application locally and the live lin. Additionally, include a brief summary of your approach and any challenges you encountered during the development process.

Good luck, and we look forward to reviewing your submission!

@todak2000 i think you should create an organization in that sandbox and generate an api key

maaz619 commented 9 months ago

Switch to sandbox api. Chimoney api are not for testing. Only sandbox api can be used for testing.

For the people that have gotten to the interview stage, can you please drop the links to your projects so we can learn from you guys.

uchibeke commented 9 months ago

Hi everyone, these are some of the biggest issues we're seeing in many of the submissions:

Creating an account and signing in not working: it might have worked for you in local but did you try the deployed version to see if a new user is able to create an account? For submissions we encountered this issue, we did not continue testing
Not completing all the requirements: Yes, it's good that you have integrated a transaction history that shows all transactions your API key has made, but why should all users of an app see all transactions made by the API key of the App developer? What is the purpose of subaccounts in the Chimoney API docs and how can you use them? Also, why does Send and Receive Payment not work even though there are documented Payouts and Payment endpoint
Not thinking holistically and critically about the solution you're implementing: While I understand that some might be new to this (which is fine and means that this challenge is not for you), the expectation is that you should be thinking about the user experience: mobile responsiveness, error states, alerts, error handling, form validation etc and how every component of your solution fits together. And there are tools, frameworks, templates and starter projects that come with this baked in. Do not try to reinvent the wheel when you can use tested and trusted tools.

With that being said, if you have a solution that works seamlessly, meets all the requirements and considers all the feedback I shared above, then ping me again if you've not been invited for the next step. Feel free to edit as needed and ping me here and we will review tonight.

I personally reviewed this. Others can try too. There’s an opportunity to improve and I’m open to reviewing again if you read through the requirements again, implement them, test and retest and ping me to try again.

Good day Uchi @uchibeke I think mine passes the check although I feel somethings might take quiet a while to implement like the key exchange and encryption but majority of the basic requirements have been met.

streuby commented 9 months ago

Is anyone getting this error "Request failed with status code 502" when making request to the endpoint "https://api-v2-sandbox.chimoney.io/v0.2/sub-account/create"? How can I resolve this?

todak2000 commented 9 months ago

502

HI @streuby , I am sure you are aware a 50X is a server error. Why dont you try again later. This might be due to several reasons. If it persist, then call the attention of @uchibeke

Femtech-web commented 9 months ago

Hello @uchibeke , I replied to the issue you raised on the project on my repo.

Please do to check. Thanks.
