"One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating." ― Luciano Pavarotti
Your employer, MegaCorp, has tasked you with a very important project, Lunch Buddies, which they beleive is critical to their internal culture and success in world domination as a business.
Or, to be more specific, they have tasked you with delivering the server side application for Lunch Buddies.
And, of course, Lunch Buddies is a scheduling application for employees to eat lunch with other random people at the office.
You will need to design and implement web API application on top of a storage layer to allow for the following:
- A user can set their location to an office code from a predefined list.
- A user can request lunch with a random other user in a given office for a particular day.
- A user can view their "lunch buddy" booking details (the date of the appointment, who it's with, and at what office).
- A user can cancel a given booking.
Of important note, bookings should only be able to be made:
- Monday through Friday
- Not conflict with an existing booking
All other details are up to you to decide - you've been given carte blanche to make Lunch Buddies the application that MegaCorp needs. Once you're done implementing the server code, the UI team will be building a single page application (SPA) on top of it so people can use it! Feel free to use open source libraries in building this application.
Provide a Github repository which contains your Lunch Buddy server application as specified above.
To avoid having to deal with user passwords and logins, this service will run in front of a reverse proxy that will handle authentication via the company SSO.
All requests will have a USER_NAME header and a USER_EMAIL header which you can identify them with.
