MuchBetter Technical Assignment

The task is to create a service that represents a simplified version of the MuchBetter e-wallet app!

We expect the assignment to take around a week to complete. Feel free to use any addiotional depedencies/libraries you like. The assignment should include unit and integration tests, not a full test suite but at least a few good examples. Dockerising the service is optional but encouraged.

Technology Stack

• Language Java
• Framework Spring Boot
• In-Memory datastore Redis

API

The service needs four REST endpoints.

Login

Accepts no input and returns a token. The token will need to be supplied in the Authorization header in subsequent requests. Every call returns a new token and creates a new user, the user should be created with a preset balance in a preset currency.

POST /login

Spend

Accepts an Authorization header and a JSON body representing a single transaction.

POST /spend

{
    "date": "2022-01-01",
    "description": "Coffee",
    "amount": 10,
    "currency": "EUR"
}

Balance

Accepts an Authorization and returns the current balance along with the currency code.

GET /balance

{
    "amount": 100,
    "currency": "EUR"
}

Transactions

Accepts an Authorization header and returns a list of transactions.

GET /transactions

[
    {
        "date": "2022-01-01",
        "description": "Coffee",
        "amount": 10,
        "currency": "EUR"
    }
]
