# Zesty.ai engineering test (full-stack)

## Background

Full-stack engineers at Zesty.ai develop our web applications end-to-end, working with modern front-end frameworks, APIs
(ours and third parties'), and many kinds of data and imagery.

This test is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your comfort with developing both an API and a UI, similar to a
day-to-day project you might encounter working on our team.

## Assignment

Your goal is to create a full-stack web application that allows developers to search for and retrieve information about
real estate properties. Using your language(s) and framework(s) of choice, you will need to create a front-end and
back-end for your application and connect to the provided PostgreSQL database.

Your application should include some required features, and may also include optional features. Implementing required
features is expected to take around 4 hours. If you feel like implementing optional features, you may spend more than 4
hours. Pick whichever optional features you think you can do best.

Note that some features are more difficult than others, and you will be evaluated on more than just the number of
features completed. Quality is preferred over quantity. Design, organize, and comment your code as you would a typical
production project. Be prepared to discuss decisions you made.

### Required features

* **List all properties:** Display, in a tabular format, all properties and their geographic location (longitude and
latitude).

* **Property detail page:** Show detailed information about a given property, including its image, geographic location,
and statistics (if applicable).

* **Containerization:** Include Docker image(s) of your application when submitting your final code.

### Optional features

* **Search by coordinates:** Prompt the user for a longitude, latitude, and search radius (default 10000 meters) and
display, in a tabular format, the results of the search, including the properties' geographic location (longitude and
latitude).

* **Map view:** Using the
[Google Maps JavaScript API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/overview), display a map
centered around either the user's current location, or an address they enter. Display a marker on the map for each
property. Clicking on a marker should reveal an
[Info Window](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/infowindow-simple) with key
property information.

* **Save for later:** Allow users to save properties from the List, Search, Detail, and/or Map pages and visit their
list of saved properties.

* **Image overlays:** Add polygonal overlays to property images to represent either the parcel, building, or both
(`parcel_geo` and `buildings_geo` fields in the database).

* **Statistics:** Calculate geographic data about all properties within a given distance from a reference property.
Take *propertyId* and *distance* (in meters) as inputs. The API should return the following:
* parcel area (meters squared)
* buildings areas (array, meters squared)
* buildings distances to center (array, meters). Distance to center is the distance from the building to the
`geocode_geo` field in the property table.
* zone density (percentage). Create a "zone" geography, which is a buffer of *distance* meters around the
`geocode_geo` point. Then, calculate the percentage of that zone geography which has buildings in it.

## Setup
### Development environment requirements

You will need to install [Docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop) and
[`docker-compose`](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) to run the example database.

### Database startup
From the repo root folder, run `docker-compose up -d` to start the PostgreSQL database needed for this example. The
database server will be exposed on port **5555**. If this port is not available on your computer, feel free to change
the port in the `docker-compose.yml` file.

In the test database, there is a single table called `properties` (with 5 sample rows), where each row represents a
property or address. There are three geography<sup>*</sup> fields and one field with an image URL pointing to an image on [Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage/).

<sup>*</sup> *If you are not familiar with [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) or [PostGIS](https://postgis.net/), you may need to read up beforehand.*

### API reference

The API you will be implementing for this project must follow the following API specification.

Note that some endpoints and parameters only apply to optional features.

#### GET /display/:*id*?(overlay=yes(&parcel=:*parcelColor*)(&building=:*buildingColor*))

*Fetches and displays property tile by ID. Optionally overlays parcel and building geometries on tile.*

`example: GET localhost:1235/display/f853874999424ad2a5b6f37af6b56610?overlay=yes&building=green&parcel=orange`

## Submission instructions

Send us your completed application's code by email, or create and give us access to a new private GitHub repository.

Include instructions on how to run your app, and a list of what features you implemented. Add any comments or things you
want the reviewer to consider when looking at your submission. You don't need to be too detailed, as there will likely
be a review done with you where you can explain what you've done.
