Volvo Cars (Global Online Digital)

Front-end coding test (React)

Our team's designer has come up with a new design to show our latest and greatest recharge cars on the website.

Here is how the design look like for desktop and mobile (files are stored under docs folder)

Desktop

Mobile

The data required to render the design is under public/api/cars.json folder. You need to fetch the data from the client side and render it in the browser. The data looks like this:

[
    {
      "id": "xc90-recharge",
      "modelName": "XC90 Recharge", 
      "bodyType": "suv",
      "modelType": "plug-in hybrid",
      "imageUrl": "/images/xc90_recharge.jpg"
    }
]

The product owner is telling you that you can generate the links to the learn and shop pages of each car by concatating the id of the car to the learn (/learn/) and shop (/shop/) urls.

Two extra SVG icons are also provided by our designer which are stored under docs folder.

Requirements

• The project is bootstraped using create-react-app.
• Browser support is modern ever-green browsers.
• Implement this design using React and Typescript.
• Accessibility is important.
• Code Structure and reusablity is important.

Bonus Points:

• If you use our design system component library, VCC-UI
• If you add a filter bar on the top to filter cars by bodyType

Candidate / my results and feedback

Really enjoyed doing this exercise, good tech stack with a good challange.

Achieved creating the carousel, with the slides / card dynamically generated from the mock car data. Used the VCC-UI as much as possilbe.

Carousel works on desktop and mobile.

TODO:

• Seperate getting the api/cars.json and passing that to the Slide / Cards component, this was tricky as the Carousel component wanted an array, and I had the cards in a fragment.
• Add tests
• Dots for mobile
• Commments where needed
