Bright Flutter Technical Test

The Starter Project

This test project uses the JSON placeholder API to display a list of posts. The list includes the title of each post and an excerpt from each post's body. Tapping a post opens a post details screen that displays the title and complete body of the post.

The architecture of the starting application is deliberately poor to give you an opportunity to demonstrate how you would tackle improving legacy code.

The API

You will need to use the following endpoints from the JSON placeholder API to complete the home tasks:

GET https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/

GET https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/{POST_ID}/

GET https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/{POST_ID}/comments/

Home tasks

1. Add a button to the post details screen that navigates to a new screen showing a list of all comments on the post. Each item in the list should show the author and body of the comment.

2. Add a button to the post details screen that saves a post to be read offline. The state of the button should reflect whether the post is saved to read offline.

   There should be a separate post list screen that displays only posts that are saved for offline reading. It should look and behave identically to the original post list screen.

   The original post list and the offline post list screens should be embedded in a tabbed view. (You can use material widgets)

   The tab item for the offline post list screen should be badged with the number of offline posts that have been saved.

   Only details about the post have to be available to read offline. Post comments do not have to be available offline (but it's a bonus if they are).

Provided resources

Included in the starter repository:

• API response bodies so you can complete the test if you're having connection issues. (found under assets/)
• List of API endpoints you'll need to use for the task (above).
• You can use standard material icons where icons are appropriate

Requirements

• Must be written in latest version of Dart.
• The project should build and run without errors.
• Error handling should be considered.
• You can use whatever extra libraries you like but be prepared to justify your choices.
• You should provide at least one example of a Widget test.
• You should submit the above as either a compressed git repository (zip file) or a link to your repository on github or similar hosting service. Please commit regularly as you carry out the task and keep the commit history in tact.

Interview pairing tasks

In your interview we will ask you more about your process in completing the above tasks.

There will also be a short exercise where you will be paired with one of our Android team member and given a task to develop this project further. You will have full access to internet resources to help you.
