CrossKnowledge - Technical challenge (Python)

Technical challenge

Here is the description of what you'll need to implement on this technical challenge.

Challenges

1. Cache function

Implement a function, class or module (it can be on the same file - request.py) to cache requests made with the existing code, preventing unecessary calls. You MUST use this Redis module as a cache service. Feel free to change the code within the existing functions, but do not alter their behaviour.

Context: Caching requests can be useful to avoid unecessary HTTP calls for the same resources, however, the resources can change during time, so it is important to keep in mind that cache needs to be invalidated at some point.

Note: You may use any Python version and import other modules, unless they implement cache services for the requests.

2. Date formatting

Implement a JavaScript code that replaces the value (innerHTML value) from elements with the class js-date-format with the formatted value of the time passed since the element initial time. The value within the elements will be a ISO date format (2019-04-05T12:00:00.000Z for example). It will be tested on Google Chrome.

Use the following format:

  • 1 second ago OR X seconds ago
  • 1 minute ago OR X minutes ago
  • 1 hour ago OR X hours ago
  • Date in ISO format (original format)

Working example:

Working example

Note: You may use ecmascript 6 features but must not use any framework or add any dependency.

3. Apply style

Implement the CSS code to make the component on component.html look like the desired mockup below. Add attributes as you may need, but do not use HTML tags as CSS selectors to implement the styles. It will be tested on Google Chrome.

Mockup:

Desired mockup

Note #1: You should use new CSS features and add classes as you need, but try not to change the HTML structure.

Note #2: We recommend you try using BEM.

Evaluation

This is a list of what will be evaluated in your code:
