About the Challenge
In this frontend challenge, you'll build a Sortable List Component with Search Input Box. This challenge is perfect for you if you're interested in building complex front-end web components and taking your front-end skills to the next level!
You can use as many (or as few) tools, libraries, and frameworks as you'd like. If you're trying to learn something new, this might be a great way to push yourself.
Challenge Requirements
The component should display a list of up to 5 selected skills in a column.
If the list doesn't have all 5 selected skills, the component should display an input box just after the last selected skill in the list.
The input box should display suggestions as the user types from an API or hard-coded data.
After selecting a skill from the suggestions, the selected skill should be added to the list of selected skills.
The component should allow the user to delete a selected skill by clicking on a delete button.
The component should allow the user to rearrange the selected skills by drag and drop.
The component should also display a column of suggested skills next to the list.
The user should be able to select a skill from the suggested skills column and add it directly to the list by clicking on the skill.
Show the hover state of all the elements.
The component should be responsive and display correctly on different screen sizes.
Make this landing page look as close to the design as possible.
Taking your Project to the Next Level
In the list, only the input box that is just after the last selected skill should be enabled. The rest of the input boxes should be disabled.
For example, if only 2 skills are selected, the third input box should be enabled, while the fourth and fifth input boxes should be disabled.
Use a framework like React, Vue, or Svelte. Or, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, try writing everything in Vanilla JavaScript.
In this frontend challenge, you'll learn how to build a real-world UI component using JavaScript or ReactJs. You'll also learn how to use CSS Flexbox to lay out the component and make it responsive. This frontend challenge is a great opportunity to improve your JavaScript & ReactJs skills by building a complex frontend web component. So what are you waiting for?
