Coding project for UI candidates

This project tests a range of front-end development skills.

You will be building a simple tax calculator. Follow the steps below, but please understand that not every detail is spelled out for you. Part of your challenge is to cover edge cases and follow best-practices on our own. This project should take about 1-2 hours.

Set up

You will need Node.js installed, that's all.

Step 1

Get a free API account:

• Go here: https://sandbox-rest.avatax.com/swagger/ui/index.html
• Scroll down to Free
• Expand POST /api/v2/accounts/freetrials/request
• Click Try it out
• In the sample JSON change email to your email
• Click Execute
• See response JSON below that and note the "accountDetailsEmailedTo": "[your email]"
• Click the https://sandbox.admin.avalara.com/ link in that email, log in with your username and temporary password, and reset your password. Do not use any of your personal passwords!

Step 2

Starting with the provided code, build out a working UI that matches Tax Calulator design.png. You'll need to use two dependencies:

• Data from the AvaTax TaxRatesByAddress endpoint. You need to use Basic or Bearer authentication
• Avalara's design system for UI elements

Step 3

Zip your project up and email it to the recruiter or host it on a shared drive. Please do not leave it on your public repo.

FAQ

• What framework should I use? Your choice, including no framework at all. This is not a framework test.
• Am I supposed to make the UI look exactly like the mockup? Yes and the necessary stylesheet is already linked to in the app. Simply refer to the design system docs in Step 2.
• This is taking me longer than I thought or I haven't got to start yet, can I have more time? Yes. Please message the recruiter with a new estimate.
