This project is made for the technical test part of the Algolia hiring process.

The original requirements can be found at requirements.md.

This project uses several Vue components. All of them are prefixed with al-. You need to either directly nest the other components in an al-search or supply the :al-search attribute.

Styling is opinionated and makes use of Tachyons.

props: app-id='XCG7JJBBFK' api-key='e3d622501fbbe065394049f746b16314' facets='["category"]'

A component that deals with the Algolia integration. Usually you'll wrap this around the other components. If that's not the case, then you will have to pass a reference to this al-search as a prop to each of the other components.

props: :al-search='alSearch'

An input that will search over your specified al-search.

props: name='category' :al-search='alSearch'

A component that allows you to filter over a certain facet. Take in account that you need to give an array of facets to the relevant al-search.

props: :options='options' :al-search='alSearch'

Allows you to pick a different index to search in.

options can for example be:

[{
  index: 'appstore_rating_asc',
  name: 'Rank ascending'
}, {
  index: 'appstore_rating_desc',
  name: 'Rank descending'
}]

props: :al-search='alSearch'

A component that shows the amount of hits and the amount of time needed for the latest result.

props: :result='result'

Render a single search result.

props: :al-search='alSearch'

Render and handle pagination functions.

props: :al-search='alSearch'

A component that includes stats, results and pagination.

The backend is written in Express and has two main routes. Static routes, which are in /controllers/index.js and API routes, which are in /controllers/api/.

The API route 1/index.js contains two methods:

• POST /api/1/apps with a JSON body this will be added to the appstore Algolia index.
• DELETE /api/1/apps/:id will delete the object with that idea at the appstore Algolia index.

The api routes require an Algolia Admin API Key you can find on algolia.com/api-keys. This should be set as the environment variable ALGOLIA_API_KEY. Other API keys are at controllers/api/1/index.js and src/App.vue.
