Solita Dev-Academy 2021 Exercise - Name Application

Heroku Address for this application is: https://murmuring-taiga-78923.herokuapp.com/

Repository for the back-end: https://github.com/SusannaV/Solita-2021-Dev-Academy

This app can be launched from Heroku (linked above). It also has one API endpoint at https://murmuring-taiga-78923.herokuapp.com/api/names

Original task specifications:

Your task is to implement a name application. The application should have an user interface. The user interface can be either a web application or an api. (It can even contain both if you have enough time and enthusiasm.)

The user interface should provide at least the first one of the following requirements, but again, you’re allowed to implement them all.

1. List names and amounts, order by amount, most popular first
2. List names in alphabetical order
3. Return the total amount of all the names
4. Return the amount of the name given as a parameter

The data for the application is stored in a json file (names.json). The material contains the top-10 of both male and female names in Solita. You can use the json file directly as your data source or you can store the data in a database if you wish.

Technologies which are used in the projects in Solita are, for example, Java, Kotlin, Clojure, TypeScript, C#, React, Angular, Vue.js, and Node.js. You can choose some of those or use your favorite technologies.

GitHub is a good choice for version control. You can attach the repository link to your dev academy application. Be aware that you do not have to fork this repo and repository forking is public information in GitHub

Be prepared to present your implementation of the name application in the possible interview. We would like to see how the application works and discuss together the technology choices you’ve made.
