CSNW Coding Sample: David Li Pino

A React + Typescript + Vite demo for the sample problems put forth for the interview.

The boggle problem was selected for the assignment. The application runs as a React with no backing server and has limited interaction.

How to run

Environment

Running on a linux distro:

• Ensure that Node is at v22.9.0. Using nvm greatly simplifies that process

Getting and running

Source code can be retrieved from the open Github repo.

• Get the source code and enter directory

git clone git@github.com:dlipino/CSNW-demo-dlp.git
cd CSNW-demo-dlp

• Load npm packages and run application in dev mode

npm install
npm run dev

The console will provide a link do ctrl+right-click on the link to open a browser to the url (http://localhost:5173/). On the welcome page click the 'Go to Boggle' button or add '/boggle' to the local url.

The UI will have the following buttons (so sorry about the off center and inconsistent UI):

• Reset Board -> Fills boggle board with new values.
• Load New Board -> opens a file dialog to select a predefined boggle board and uses those values.A json file a sample file is provided /helperFiles/boggle/test2Darray.json
• Load Boggle Library:(library count)-> opens a load file dialog for selecting and loading the library to use for solving the boggle board. A sample library file is provided at /helperFiles/boggle/testLibrary.
• Solve Board: (solved count)-> Solves the boggle board that is visible and displays the results. Also shows number of solutions present.

Running tests

To run the tests:

npm run test
