Coding Challenge

This is the completed coding challenge for the outdoorsy staff engineer backend role.

Functionality

The rental api has the following functionality:

• /rentals/<RENTAL_ID> Read one rental endpoint
• /rentals Read many (list) rentals endpoint
  • Supported query parameters
    • price_min (number)
    • price_max (number)
    • limit (number)
    • offset (number)
    • ids (comma separated list of rental ids)
    • near (comma separated pair [lat,lng])
    • sort (string)
  • Examples:
    • rentals?price_min=9000&price_max=75000
    • rentals?limit=3&offset=6
    • rentals?ids=3,4,5
    • rentals?near=33.64,-117.93 // within 100 miles
    • rentals?sort=price
    • rentals?near=33.64,-117.93&price_min=9000&price_max=75000&limit=3&offset=6&sort=price

The rental object JSON in the response is as follows:

{
  "id": "int",
  "name": "string",
  "description": "string",
  "type": "string",
  "make": "string",
  "model": "string",
  "year": "int",
  "length": "decimal",
  "sleeps": "int",
  "primary_image_url": "string",
  "price": {
    "day": "int"
  },
  "location": {
    "city": "string",
    "state": "string",
    "zip": "string",
    "country": "string",
    "lat": "decimal",
    "lng": "decimal"
  },
  "user": {
    "id": "int",
    "first_name": "string",
    "last_name": "string"
  }
}

How to Run

• make sure you have docker installed
• run command docker compose up --build will build latest code and bootstrap the api
• test using the http://localhost:8080/rentals/<id> and http://localhost:8080/rentals/?<query_string> endpoints (e.g. GET http://localhost:8080/rentals?ids=1,2,3&sort=lng&price_min=1&price_max=100000&limit=100&offset=1)
