Backend Coding Challenge

The goal of this coding challenge is to write a service that fetches data from the Figma API for a given Figma Design and stores it as a JSON file to S3.

Please try to not spend more than 4 hours on the challenge.

Requirements:

• Users should be able to submit a Figma File URL and the service downloads the JSON and stores it to S3
  • Figma URL format: https://figma.com/file/FILE_ID or https://www.figma.com/file/FILE_ID
• Users should be able to download the JSON from the S3 bucket afterwards

Test Figma Design: https://www.figma.com/file/7jRyj8dzankbyraCDBVwBM

Documentation: https://www.figma.com/developers/api#get-files-endpoint

Curl Request Example:

curl -H 'X-FIGMA-TOKEN: YOUR_TOKEN' 'https://api.figma.com/v1/files/7jRyj8dzankbyraCDBVwBM'

Example Response from the Figma API:

{
  "document": {
    "id": "0:0",
    "name": "Document",
    "type": "DOCUMENT",
    "children": [
      {
        "id": "0:1",
        "name": "Page 1",
        "type": "CANVAS",
        "children": [
          {
            ...
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Technical Recommendations:

• Use TypeScript, NodeJs
• Usage of modern js functionality (ES6+)
• Documentation
• Clean commits (consider Conventional Commit Messages)
• Clean code (linting, ...)
• Fastify, Express, Nest
• Defined REST endpoints
• Schema Validation
• Some Tests
• Async/Await
• Logging

Nice to have:

• Gitflow Branch Naming

Stuff we will pay attention to:

• How you split your code
• Code repetitions and reusability (keep your code DRY and simple KISS)
• How and where you put your business logic
• Working in accordance with good practices in general
• Handling unexpected errors or potential exceptions
