Intro

Hi 👋 and welcome to the Boulevard frontend engineer take-home assessment!

We’re so glad you decided to engage in our recruiting process and designed this assessment to be fun, flexible, and let you strut your stuff.

This assessment is purposefully open-ended. We want to see your style – everything from setting up your favorite tools to how you document your code.

We recommend seeing how far you can get in 4 hours.

So… let’s jump in!

The project

You’re going to build an email verification web app that mimics the type of stuff we build at Boulevard!

Here are the requirements:

• Use this repository as a starting point - it is based off of Create React App
• Create a form that lets a user enter an email address
• Consume the DISIFY email verification API to find out whether the email address is valid or disposable and expose that information to the user
• Track the history of validation requests that have been made by the user and show that on the page

Some things we look for:

• The application is feature complete and bug free - we value attention to detail and care about the quality of our work.
• You added linting and style controls - we care about consistent styles and engineered controls to enforce them.
• You added tests - we care about the quality of our code and put controls in place to ensure quality now and in the future.
• You used external libraries where appropriate - we don’t want to reinvent the wheel and would rather spend our time investing in what truly adds value to our customers. Consider component libraries, network libraries, state libraries, etc.
• You used clean code principles and component composition - we prioritize clean code to enhance readability, maintainability, and scalability.
• You used TypeScript to help achieve clean code - we use Typescript to enhance readability, maintainability, and code safety.
• You added accessibility controls - our mission is to make self care accessible to ALL. This includes things like supporting screen readers and keyboard form navigation
• You commit your work in small, atomic commits - we practice continuous integration and deployment through small, incrementally deliverable units of work
