Tech Challenge (Vue.js)

This is a simple technical challenge to show us your ability using Vue.js. If you run into any issues, please contact Chris at [email protected]. Spend as little or as long as you wish on it, but please try to complete as much as possible. Functionality is the main priority over design, however we will be checking over your use of CSS / Sass. You'll be asked to talk about your code in your second interview.

Base requirements

• Vue.js projects built at GForces use the Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide to keep code consistent and readable. The codebase within this project has linting errors, and these will need to be resolved so that you can continue development.
• We would then like you to set up Vue Router, create a BookView component and apply it to the route /books
• Using axios (or another library if you'd prefer), we'd like you to grab and display a list of 40 Stephen King novels using the Google Books API.
• Use a responsive design approach to make the layout work on a range of screen sizes
• Try to create a good user experience
• Think about folder structure, and keeping code organised.
• Consider cross-browser support (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE9+)
