Test Coding Assignment

Assignment:

Develop a simple web app allowing users to send emails. The app should have the following features:

1. Sidebar

1. The main page should have a sidebar with a list of emails (Apple Mail style)
2. When selecting an email from the sidebar, the selected email should be displayed on the right side of the screen

2. Search bar

1. The sidebar should contain a search bar at the top
2. When typing text in the search bar, the list of emails in the sidebar should be filtered based on the search text
   • We should do the filtering on the backend
   • We should debounce the requests to the backend (i.e. wait for 500ms after the user stops typing before sending the request)
   • The search should return results where either the to, cc, bcc, subject, or subject fields contain the search text

3. Sending emails

The main page should have a button to compose a new email (placed at the bottom right corner of the screen). The following fields should be present in the compose email form:

• To
• CC
• BCC
• Subject
• Body

Notes:

1. No need to actually send the email - it's enough to save it in the database
2. Do not spend more than 1h on this assignment, just do as much as you can in that time
3. Please remove the .next folder before sending the task
4. Please remove the dev.sqlite3 folder before sending the task
5. Please remove the node_modules folders before sending the task
6. Please remove any other ignored files before sending the task
