Plentina Backend Developer Challenge

The aim of this challenge is to implement the requirements laid out below and to improve on the existing codebase. You may not import any other libraries other than the ones provided already in package.json. You have one week to finish this challenge upon receipt.

Upload your work in a public git repository with a name randomly generated from this website: https://www.imprima.com/resources/project-name-generator

System Requirements

1. Node v10 LTS

Installation

$ npm install

Usage

To run the app:

$ npm run start

To test the code:

$ npm run test

Challenge Specifications

The app has a single endpoint, /shape, that takes in two objects in its payload. The endpoint checks if these two shapes will collide in a Cartesian plane and provides either a true or a false in one of the response's fields.

Complete the challenge by doing the following:

1. Finish the /healthCheck endpoint by returning your entire name as a string in the json response
2. Implement the unfinished collides(other: Shape) in the Rect class
3. Create a new Line Shape class that implements Shape. Let it be usable as input in the endpoint for checking collisions (i.e. you should be able to check if a Line collides with another shape, including other Lines). Hint: Shape has a member center. For the purpose of this implementation, assume that center is one of the Line's two end points.
4. Add the necessary logging in various stages of the code
5. Ensure that the currently implemented unit tests are all successful, and add new unit tests for edge cases and the newly added Line class
6. Refactor the code to avoid duplication in Rect and Circle and the newly created Line. You may use any design patterns you want
7. Clean the code as you see fit
