Fall '23 React Challenge

Hey there! Welcome to the DP's web dev challenge~

The goal of this challenge is for you to demonstrate the ability to:

1. Build polished, production grade websites
2. Build products with minimal direction
3. Work within a set timeline

Using React is by no means a requirement for this challenge, you can find starter code for completing this challenge in pure html, jquery, and css here. If you're more comfortable completing this challenge using some other frontend library or framework like Angular, Vue, Preact, Elm, Svelte (or one of the thousand other competing frameworks out there) or anything else really, go ahead! We want to judge you at your best, so use whatever tooling you're most comfortable with!

Also, remeber that at DP, we do not judge anyone by his/ her initial performances. Instead, what we value is the progress you made from the moment you received your challenge to the moment your turned in your code. So put efforts into the challenge and good luck.

In this challenge, you'll be building something you may have seen before: a quiz for Under the Button. We'll be providing you with the quiz's content in a file called data.json, but building out the website is completely up to you!

Getting Started

• Make a copy of this repository by either running git clone https://github.com/dailypenn/challenge-react.git on your local computer or simply click on the Green Code button and then click on Download ZIP.
• Navigate to the cloned repo in the terminal and run npm install or yarn install
• Run npm run start or yarn start

Note: This project is boostrapped with Create React App (CRA), so hot-reloading has been configured. This means after you run yarn start or npm start, the application will be recompiled automatically after a file is edited.

General Requirements

• We want you to duplicate the functionality of this quiz. This means showing each question with its options as a form that people can fill out and submit for a response.
• Your code should use data.json under /src as the content to show in the form.
• Do not hardcode anything as we will edit data.json and do some simple tests. Any edit to data.json takes the following forms: 1) changing the number of questions 2) changing the number of options to each question 3) changing the number of results 4) changing the text of any question, option, or result. You can assume that data.json will be well-formatted.
• Your quiz should be functional. The response shown doesn't have to match UTB's actual form, but it should at least be reproducible. Selecting answers and submitting should show one of the responses. Reloading the page and selecting the same answers should show the same response.

---

Required Features

• For each question, there should be at most 1 option that is chosen at the same time.
• When the user clicks on show me my results button, he/she should not be able to modify the form.
• There should be a retake quiz button after the result is shown that allows the user to take the quiz again.
• The user has to give an option to each question before he/she is able to click on show me my results button and see the results to the quiz.
• If the majority of responses to the form is A, the first element in results should be returned. And if the majority responses is B, the second element in results is returned, and so on. Therefore, if you have k options, you should also have k elements in results.

Tools

• For styling, use whatever you want:

  • CSS frameworks (Bulma, Bootstrap)
