Build a complete React and Next.js user-management flow with validated CRUD endpoints. Cover authoritative responses, draft state, mutation failures, edit conflicts, and a clear path to search and pagination.
Build a User Management CRUD Flow with React and Next.js
Company: DoorDash
Role: Software Engineer
Category: Software Engineering Fundamentals
Difficulty: medium
Interview Round: Onsite
Implement a user-management interface with React and Next.js, including backend endpoints for creating, reading, updating, and deleting user records. Complete the basic UI-to-backend flow before extending it with search and pagination.
### Constraints and Clarifying Questions
The data model may be simplified. Choose and state a minimal record schema, validation rules, persistence approach, and router style. Search and pagination are extensions rather than prerequisites for a working CRUD demonstration. This exercise's reported round did not allow AI assistance; do not assume generated code is required.
### What a Strong Answer Covers
A coherent record contract, HTTP operations, server validation, form and list state, error handling, and verification of each mutation through a subsequent read. Explain the limitations of any in-memory demonstration store.
### Follow-up Questions
- How would two clients avoid silently overwriting each other's edits?
- How would search and pagination preserve a stable ordering?
