Go Guess frontend

React and TypeScript recruitment workspace built with Vite.

Commands

npm install
npm run dev
npm run typecheck
npm run lint
npm run format
npm run format:check
npm test
npm run build

Run one test:

npm test -- src/app/App.test.tsx -t "filters jobs by title"

Source structure

• src/app contains the application shell, providers, routes, and route-level tests.
• src/features groups pages and components by business capability.
• src/components contains UI shared by multiple features.
• src/api/client.ts is the typed HTTP boundary.
• src/types contains API and domain types.
• src/styles/global.css contains shared tokens and layout styles.

Keep feature-only UI close to its feature instead of adding more screens to the application shell.

API integration

Vite proxies /api to http://localhost:8080. Login stores the returned JWT in sessionStorage; protected requests send it as Authorization: Bearer <token>. API failures are shown in the UI and are never replaced with demo data. A 401 from a protected JSON, file, or event-stream request clears authentication and returns the user to /login. The app also schedules logout from the JWT expiration claim so an idle expired session cannot remain on a protected page.

Supported routes:

• POST /api/auth/login
• GET|POST /api/jobs
• GET /api/jobs/:id
• PATCH /api/jobs/:id for interview status and duration
• POST|DELETE /api/jobs/:id/questions/:questionId
• GET /api/jobs/:id/candidates
• GET|POST /api/jobs/:id/invitations
• GET /api/jobs/:jobId/invitations/:invitationId for protected answer review
• PATCH /api/jobs/:jobId/invitations/:invitationId/outcome
• GET|POST /api/jobs/:jobId/interviews
• GET|POST /api/questions (GET accepts ?search=)
• PUT /api/questions/:id to update question text, type, options, reference answer, and code snippet
• PATCH /api/questions/:id to deprecate or restore a question
• GET|POST /api/participants
• GET /api/participants/:id
• GET /api/participants/:id/photo
• GET /api/participants/:id/cv
• GET /api/interviews/:token
• POST /api/interviews/:token/accept
• PUT /api/interviews/:token/answers/:questionId
• POST /api/interviews/:token/finish
• GET|POST /api/users
• GET /api/inbox and PATCH /api/inbox/:interviewId
• GET /api/calendar
• GET /api/scheduled-interviews/:id
• PATCH /api/scheduled-interviews/:id/status
• PATCH /api/scheduled-interviews/:id/document
• GET|POST /api/scheduled-interviews/:id/notes
• GET /api/scheduled-interviews/:id/events (authenticated fetch-based SSE)
• GET /api/participant-meetings/:token (public)
• GET /api/participant-meetings/:token/events (token-authorized SSE)

Participant creation uses multipart fields firstName, lastName, birthday, email, contactInfo, photo, and cv.

Interview workflow

Authenticated interviewers create and edit reusable questions at /questions, configure job status and duration, attach active library questions, and generate invitations for each eligible participant from a job detail page. Multiple-choice and radio questions require at least two explicitly added options. Detaching a question removes only the job association; questions can be deprecated but not deleted. Open-answer and code-review questions include an interviewer-only reference answer that is never rendered in the participant interview. Code-review questions also require a code snippet. Accepted and completed invitations can be opened from the job to review every participant answer, possible choice options, reference answers, and code-review context; unanswered questions are called out explicitly. Completed assessments can be marked as passed or failed. Passed candidates expose a scheduling form for the date, location, co-interviewers, and candidate-visible shared documentation.

The authenticated workspace also includes:

• Users for listing and creating co-interviewers.
• Inbox for accepting or declining interview assignments.
• Calendar for interviews grouped by date.
• Interviewer sessions for changing status, editing prominent shared documentation, and posting private notes while an interview is started. Notes and shared-document changes arrive live through an authenticated streaming fetch; the app intentionally does not use EventSource, because the request needs the JWT authorization header.

Participants open the generated /participant/:invitationId URL without signing in. The opaque invitation ID authorizes the existing /api/interviews/:token API. Code-review questions are shown in a pull-request-style code panel with a review comment field. Answers are saved when navigating between questions and as they change, then Submit completes the interview. The countdown is derived from the backend acceptedAt timestamp plus the job duration so refreshing cannot reset it. Questions stay hidden until the participant explicitly accepts the invitation.

Scheduled candidates use /participant/meeting/:token. This public view shows the interview date, location, status, and read-only shared documentation. A token-authorized event stream updates the document immediately when an interviewer saves it in another browser. The participant view never receives interviewer notes or assessment reference answers.

Container

Build with docker build -t go-guess-frontend .. The production Nginx server serves the SPA and proxies /api to the Docker Compose service api:8080.
