Lincoln Full-Stack Engineer Take-Home Project

This take-home project is designed to simulate real world client work. It should take up to only a few hours to complete. Please work at your own pace and comfort.

Any ambiguity found in the task is intentional; we want to see how you navigate decision trees and how you defend your choices. Approach this as you would approach a task given by a real client.

Instructions

1. Clone this repo under your own GitHub account.
2. Complete the task below.
3. After completing the task, add NotASithLord as a collaborator to your cloned repo.

Task

Background

Your client is a non-profit organization that uses the services of a 3rd party vendor to solicit donations on the client's behalf. Every month, the vendor sends the client a CSV file of new donation information.

The CSV file is guaranteed to be well-formed. It consists of these fields:

• Donor ID*
• Donor Name
• Donor Email
• Donor Gender
• Donor Address
• Donation Amount*

Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required fields, and are guaranteed to be included in each row. Rows with blank column data should be treated as Anonymous donations.

The client has requested a way to manage/visualize their donation information. They want to build a simple web dashboard to:

• View all donation records
• Filter out Anonymous donations
• View total donation amount
• Upload any new donation CSV to add new records

Additionally, the client wants to be alerted on every successfuly CSV upload with a summary that includes the following information:

• Total number of records uploaded
• Total value of newly uploaded donations
• Percentage of Anonymous donations

Deliverables

• Build a web-based dashboard with the above client requirements
• You may use any language/framework/tool to build the dashboard. Add any relevant files/code to the cloned repository.
• Somewhere in the repo, add a public URL to view the dashboard.
• Create an alert on successful CSV upload. You may send alert to any service (email, Slack, etc). Be prepared to demo this functionality.

Tips

• We have provided a sample donations.csv file in the repo to use for seed data.
• We are grading for functionality and approach over polish. We do not want you to spend significant time on aethetics, though clean, elegant UI/UX is encouraged.
