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
