React Developer Coding Challenge

This is a coding challenge for prospective front-end and full-stack developer applicants applying to DemandHub.

Goal:

Build a simple React app that allows viewing and interacting with a grid of curated photos from Unsplash

• Fork this repo into your GitHub account. Keep it public until we have been able to review it.
• Use create-react-app to set up a basic single-page React application as shown here: https://reactjs.org/docs/add-react-to-a-new-app.html.
• Refer to the Unsplash API docs here to set up a developer account: https://unsplash.com/documentation.
• Display a grid of photos in your React app. Use the GET /photos/curated endpoint from the Unsplash API to get a set of curated images.
• The grid of photos should preserve the aspect ratio of the photos it's displaying, meaning it shouldn't crop the image in any way.
• The grid should be responsive, and should work in both portrait and landscape orientations on both mobile and desktop browsers.
• The grid should support pagination, i.e. you can scroll on grid of photos infinitely.
• When the user taps on a photo on the grid it should show the full photo in a full width lightbox popup with more information about the photo.
• The lightbox popup should be dismissible with a close button.

Evaluation:

• The React app should build without errors (typically using npm run build). If there are necessary steps required to get it to compile, those should be covered in README.md.
• No crashes or bugs.
• App should operate as a single-page application, without the need for a custom back-end.
• Code is easily understood and communicative.
• GitHub commit history is consistent, easy to follow and understand.
