Smokeball JavaScript Coding Challenge

Important Information

Read this document carefully and follow ALL instructions.

System Requirements

The coding challenge requires the following to be installed on your development machine;

  • nodejs version 18.x or above.
  • A git client.

Installation

  1. Fork the javascript-developer-test repository to your personal github account.
  2. Clone the javascript-developer-test repository from your personal github account onto your development machine.
  3. Open a terminal and cd into the root directory of the javascript-developer-test repository.
  4. Execute npm install in the terminal.

Challenge Instructions

Your challenge is to implement the getArnieQuotes() function, which is exported from ./src/get-arnie-quotes.js.

The unit tests in ./src/get-arnie-quotes.test.js will provide pre-defined URLs to the function and test your function's implementation. To run the unit tests, execute npm test in the terminal.

The goal is to write an implementation of getArnieQuotes() that meets all requirements and passes all unit tests.

Requirements

Functional

  • Use the provided httpGet function to get the quote for the URL
  • For a successful request
    • return an object with a single key "Arnie Quote" and the HTTP response body's message property as the key's associated value.
  • For an unsuccessful request
    • return an object with a single key "FAILURE" and the HTTP response body's message property as the key's associated value.
  • Success is denoted by the HTTP response status code 200.
  • Input validation for get-arnie-quotes() is not required.

Non-Functional

  • Only push changes to the get-arnie-quotes.js file.
  • Do not create a pull request against our source repository.

Please Note

  • Other solutions to this puzzle are available on github and can be used to give you ideas, however, not all forked solutions are correct.
  • Direct plagiarism results in an immediate failure.

Sample Data

An example results array:

[
  { 'Arnie Quote': 'Some cool quote' },
  { 'FAILURE': 'Your request has been terminated' },
]

An example HTTP response:

{
  status: 200,
  body: "{ 'message': 'Some cool arnie quote' }" // JSON string
}

Submission

Once all unit tests pass, push your code upstream then send us the link to your github repo with your solution.
