Don't do it

Welcome to the CarOnSale Web Frontend Coding Challenge.

To assess your skills and knowledge about the relevant technologies, we want you to build us a simple user interface for our backend service.

Your Task:

Build a simple Angular (v7 - v12 or latest) application that includes:

• Login Page to login registered buyers (also known as „salesman“). Note that if a Non-Buyer registers, an error message should pop up.
• Overview Page (only for logged in buyers) to display all running auctions (updated every 20 seconds), including
  • vehicle image thumbnail (vehicle images may not show actual vehicles cars on our DEV platform, but only test images)
  • basic vehicle information („Erstzulassung“/EZ, Mileage, Fuel Type, Transmission)
  • current highest bid value in Euro
  • remaining time in format „00h:00m:00s“
  • information whether the logged in buyer is the highest bidder on an auction

Note that the solution must be coded in Angular, as this is the framework we are using internally. No previous professional experience with Angular will be consider when checking the results

You do have 7 days to solve the challenge - in case you need more time to to work out a high quality solution, just let us know and we will adjust the deadline for you.

Steps to submit the challenge:

0. Fork the repo
1. Create a branch to work in
2. Create the Angular project in the directory of this README
3. Fullfill the above mentioned task to solve the code challenge
4. Commit and push everything to your branch
5. Open a PR in your forked repository from your branch to master
6. Inform coding-challenge@caronsale.de that you finished the challenge :)

Your Resources:

You can find the Swagger documentation of our REST API here (The „Authorize“ feature of Swagger is not working with our API): https://api-core-dev.caronsale.de/swagger/#/

The base URL of our REST service is https://api-core-dev.caronsale.de/api/v1.

General Hints:

• The „User ID“ for REST calls is not the internal „id“ of a user, but the „mailAddress“.
• You don’t need to register new users, existing test accounts are
  • Buyer User:
    • buyer-challenge@caronsale.de (PW: Test123. - notice the period)
  • Seller User:
    • seller-challenge@caronsale.de (PW: Test123. - notice the period)
• The authentication process is part of the challenge, please use any authentication endpoint in the "Authentication" section in our Swagger you may consider.
• Once authenticated use any buyer endpoint in the "Auctions" section you may consider. This will offer you automatically a set of auctions filtered for this user (don't use a public endpoint, as it will show you only a set of public auctions not connected to the logged in user).
