For the test, it was asked to use SWAPI. The documentation can be seen in here https://swapi.co/documentation

One of the important thing in the test is selecting random people or starships. SWAPI Api has 3 endpoints for People and Starship.

• /starships/ => which returns only 10 records of 37 in one request
• /starships/:id/ => which returns only 1 records of 87 in one request
• /starships/schema/

To get a random starship or people, I had two options.

1. I need to fetch /starships/ endpoint and get the count value from the response then I'll generate number between 1 and total count and finally using /starships/:id/ endpoint, I'll get only one starship if i'm lucky.

I'm saying I'm lucky because the API doesn't have all the ids between 1 and 37. For example id = 16 was deleted. (check https://swapi.co/api/starships/16/) So I'd get 404 error and then I need to refetch until I get 200 status code.

I think this way may cause waste of extra requests and doesn't look an efficent way.

2. My other way is to use only /starships/ endpoint which will return me 10 records. Then I'll get 2 (or more) unique random records from this array.

But this way also look not good for me for the reason that I'm going to explain.

Those endpoints /starships/ also returns "next" and "previous" page urls. If there is a next page after the first 10 records, next has a url and previous is null. In the second request with ?page=2, previous will have a url. When we come to the last page, "next" property will be null.

Every time user plays a game whether starships or people battle, I'm making a request to this endpoint /starships/.

• First round the game will pick 2 (or more) random starships in 10 starships. (added new 10 records to my store)
• Second round the game will pick 2 (or more) random starships in 20 starships. (added new 10 records to my store)
• Third round the game will pick 2 (or more) random starships in 30 starships. (added new 10 records to my store)
• Fourth round the game will pick 2 (or more) random starships in 37 starships. And finally the application doesnt need to make another request to the server so because I populated all the data from the server to the redux store.

There are two routes in the application.

1. / => homepage that you can play the game by choosing the how many players will be in the game and choosing type of the battle between people or starship

2. /resutls => after you play a game, you can see the game history in this page. Click the show opponents to see the more details about the game.
