Async Task Pool — Run Promises with a Concurrency Limit
Run many async tasks but cap how many run at once. The classic concurrency-limiting question covering Promise.race, queues, and backpressure.
- Reactmedium
Build a useDebounce Hook — Debounce a Value in React
Write a useDebounce React hook that returns a value only after it stops changing for a delay. Covers useEffect cleanup, timers, and dependency arrays.
- Reactmedium
Build a useFetch Hook — Data Fetching with Cleanup
Write a useFetch React hook returning { data, error, loading }, with cleanup that ignores stale responses and aborts in-flight requests. Covers race conditions and AbortController.
- Reacteasy
Build a usePrevious Hook — Track a Value's Last Render
Write a usePrevious React hook that returns a prop or state value from the previous render. Covers useRef, render vs effect timing, and why refs survive renders.
- JavaScriptmedium
Implement an EventEmitter — on, off, emit, once
Build a pub/sub EventEmitter with on, off, emit, and once. Covers the observer pattern, Map/Set storage, and safe removal during emit.
- JavaScripteasy
Implement chunk(arr, size) — Split an Array into Groups
Split an array into consecutive chunks of a given size, handling a ragged last chunk and invalid sizes. A quick array-manipulation warm-up.
- JavaScripteasy
Implement classNames() — The clsx Utility
Recreate the classnames/clsx helper: join strings, arrays, and conditional objects into a single className string. A practical React-adjacent question.
- JavaScriptmedium
Implement compose and pipe — Function Composition
Build compose (right-to-left) and pipe (left-to-right) to chain unary functions. Covers reduce, reduceRight, and functional pipelines.
- JavaScriptmedium
Implement curry(fn) — Currying in JavaScript
Build a curry function that collects arguments until the original function's arity is met, then invokes it. Covers fn.length, closures, and partial application.
- JavaScriptmedium
Implement debounce(fn, wait) — Frontend Interview Question
The most-asked JavaScript interview question. Implement debounce with cancel, leading-edge, and trailing-edge options. Covers closures, this binding, and edge cases.
- JavaScripthard
Implement deepClone(obj) — Handle Cycles, Maps, Sets, Dates
Senior-level JavaScript interview question. Build a deep clone that handles circular references, Date, Map, Set, RegExp, and symbol keys — without using structuredClone.
- JavaScriptmedium
Implement deepEqual(a, b) — Structural Equality
Write a deep equality check for nested objects and arrays, handling primitives, key counts, and recursion. A common follow-up to deep clone.
- JavaScripteasy
Implement flatten(arr, depth) — Flatten a Nested Array
Flatten an arbitrarily nested array to a given depth without using Array.prototype.flat. Covers recursion, reduce, and depth control.
- JavaScriptmedium
Implement get(obj, path, default) — Safe Deep Access
Recreate lodash.get: read a nested value by a dot/bracket path string or array, returning a default when the path is missing. Covers parsing and safe traversal.
- JavaScripteasy
Implement groupBy(arr, key) — Group an Array
Group an array of items into buckets by a key function or property name. A clean reduce question that mirrors lodash.groupBy.
- JavaScripteasy
Implement memoize(fn) — Cache Results Without Breaking the Contract
Implement a memoize function that caches results of function calls to avoid re-computation — while preserving `this`, handling tricky argument types, and respecting the original function's contract.
- JavaScripteasy
Implement once(fn) — Run a Function a Single Time
Write once so a function runs at most once and returns the cached result on every later call. A clean closures warm-up.
- JavaScriptmedium
Implement Promise.all — Frontend Interview Question
Reimplement Promise.all from scratch: resolve with an ordered results array, reject on the first failure, and handle non-promise values and the empty case.
- JavaScriptmedium
Implement retry(fn, retries, delay) — Retry a Promise
Retry a promise-returning function on failure with exponential backoff. Covers recursion over promises, backoff, and stopping conditions.
- JavaScriptmedium
Implement throttle(fn, wait) — Frontend Interview Question
Implement throttle so a function fires at most once per time window. Covers leading vs trailing edges, this binding, and how it differs from debounce.
