Technical Assessment

NOTE: We are very open to new technologies as we mature and grow, but we have chosen TypeScript as our language for our back end. The majority of the work for this position will initially be using TypeScript.

Overview

Please complete this exercise with node.js and TypeScript. This exercise is intended to take no longer than 4 hours. Please limit the detail of your solution with that time in mind. Also, please include any questions, assumptions, plans or future considerations by providing a README with your submission.

For example,

Do the endpoints need to be secured?  I assumed not for this exercise but would suggest adding authorization in the future.

Problem

Assume that NS8 has contracted you to build a small RESTful API to support their new user tracking software. There are many node.js frameworks that could help you with this. For example, express, restify etc.

Data does not need to be persisted between server restarts.

Data definition

User

• email
  • string
  • This field is required to create a new user
  • The system must only allow 1 user per unique email address
• password
  • string
  • This field is required to create a new user
• phone number
  • string
  • This field is optional
  • When provided, the phone number must follow this pattern ###-###-####

Event

• type
  • This field is required to create a new event
  • The value can be any non-empty string

Data examples

The following input json would create a user

{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password": "passwordIsPizza",
  "phone": "333-222-1111"
}

---

The following input json would create an event with the type LOGIN

{
  "type": "LOGIN"
}

---

The following use cases should be satisfied to get user event data

• return all events for all users
• return all events for a single user
• return all events for the last day

The json data returned should at least have the following elements

[
  {
    "type": "LOGIN",
    "created: 47239847298347
  }
]

where created is the date the event was created. Choose any date format.
