How do I begin?

2. Fork this repo to your own Github repo
3. Clone the repo locally on your own computer
4. Implement the functions in each of the scripts located in the app/ dir
5. Test your results as described below
6. Commit your changes to your personal Github repo (No need to submit a pull request)
7. Complete the project described below
8. Email us the link to your repo so that we can review your results

Note: You may receive notifications that your repo has been followed or forked by a PROS employee. These actions are simply part of the review process.

I want to work on the tests; what do I do?

To use the tests, you will need to install Node -- you can do this via the download page

Note that on Windows, there are some reports that you will need to restart after installing Node.

You can clone or download this repo. Once you have done so, from the root directory of the repo, run:

npm install
npm run start

You can then view the tests in your browser at http://localhost:4444.

When you visit that page, all of the tests should be failing; your job is to get the tests to pass. To do this, you'll need to refer to the tests in the files in the tests/app directory, and edit the files in the app/ directory. Once you update a test, you can reload the test page in the browser to see whether it worked.

I want to complete the project; what do I do?

1. Create a React App with the following two inputs. Using a boilerplate like create-react-app is fine.
   1. A multiline text input that will accept a list of names, one per line.
   2. A dropdown that allows the user to select one of several languages.
2. Generate name tags for each name in the text input with a greeting in the language corresponding to the language chosen in the dropdown.
3. Make the source available as a cloneable repo, for example, on Github, and provide the link below. Be sure to include instructions on how to run the application in the README.
