Britecore Hiring Assignment - Seif Elmughrabi

Demo

here.

ER Diagram

here.

Intro

The idea is to help insurance companys' clients to freely choose what to insure.

For example, instead of choosing what to insure from a list, built on a regimented database, like: House, Golf Course, School building ...etc. They can set what to ensure themselves whether it's Automobile Policies, Cyber Liability Coverage (protection against hacking), or Prize Insurance (if someone gets a $1 million hole-in-one prize at a golf tournament, the golf course doesn't pay it, they have an insurance policy to cover them).

Tech stack.

Backend: SQLAlchemy + Flask

Frontend: VueJS + Materialize.css

Tech stack discussion

Backend

Instead of using ORM, I used SQLAlchemy's Metadata which is a collection object that can hold the description of a set of tables as Python data structure. Tables can then be created and traversed in a similar manner to an XML DOM.

Why? Metadata makes it possible to create and interact with the tables it holds programtically, instead of creating ORM representational classes upfont. In a production environment, each user can be assigned a Metadata object that can hold all the tables of the risks she has chosen for her bespoke insurance policy.

Frontend

For frontend I used VueJS (as required by the assignment) so that the client has the freedom of insuring as many risks as she wants with as many fields as desired. Fields are bits of data like first name, age, zip code, model, serial number...etc.

I also used a bit of Materialize.css for some styling.
