Objective

Your assignment is to create a Pokémon API from a CSV file using Java and any framework.

Brief

Professor Oak is in trouble! A wild Blastoise wreaked havoc in the server room and destroyed every single machine. There are no backups - everything is lost! Professor Oak quickly scribbles down all the Pokémon from memory and hands them to you on a piece of paper. (/Data/pokemon.csv). Your task is to restore the Pokémon Database from that file and create a Pokémon API so that they’re never lost again.

Tasks

• Implement assignment using:
  • Language: Java
  • Framework: any framework
• Create a Pokémon Model that includes all fields outlined in /Data/pokemon.csv
• Parse the .csv file and create entries for each row based on the following initial conditions:
  • Exclude Legendary Pokémon
  • Exclude Pokémon of Type: Ghost
  • For Pokémon of Type: Steel, double their HP
  • For Pokémon of Type: Fire, lower their Attack by 10%
  • For Pokémon of Type: Bug & Flying, increase their Attack Speed by 10%
  • For Pokémon that start with the letter G, add +5 Defense for every letter in their name (excluding G)
• Create one API endpoint /pokemon
  • This API endpoint should be searchable, filterable and paginatable
    • Search: name
    • Filter: HP, Attack & Defense
      • e.g. /pokemon?hp[gte]=100&defense[lte]=200
    • Pagination: e.g. /pokemon?page=1

Evaluation Criteria

• Java best practices
• Show us your work through your commit history
• We're looking for you to produce working code, with enough room to demonstrate how to structure components in a small program
• Completeness: did you complete the features?
• Correctness: does the functionality act in sensible, thought-out ways?
• Maintainability: is it written in a clean, maintainable way?
• Testing: is the system adequately tested?

CodeSubmit

Please organize, design, test and document your code as if it were going into production - then push your changes to the master branch. After you have pushed your code, you may submit the assignment on the assignment page.

All the best and happy coding,
