Space X Full Stack Interview

Welcome to the Dept Space X Full Stack Interview Challenge.

This repository contains a full-stack application (monorepo) designed to test your skills in Node.js and React (Next.js).

Structure

• /node: A Node.js API (Express + TypeORM + SQLite).
• /react: A Next.js 16 Client application.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• Docker (optional but recommended for the API)

1. Setup API (/node)

See node/readme.md for detailed tasks.

cd node
# Using Docker (Recommended)
docker-compose up --build

# OR locally
npm install
npm run dev:local

2. Setup Client (/react)

See react/README.md for detailed tasks.

cd react
cp .env.example .env.local
npm install
npm run dev

The Challenge

Your regular work involves building modern, performant web applications. This challenge simulates that by asking you to:

1. Fix & Modernize: Identify and fix bugs in the existing codebase.
2. Implement Features: Add missing functionality (e.g., authentication, favorites).
3. Architect: Make decisions on rendering strategies (CSR vs SSR) and state management.

Good luck! 🚀
