The users of ssb.no wants an application that allows them to calculate how much the value of the currency (NOK) has changed over time. The basis for the computations are the monthly consumer price indices from Statistics Norway. Here are some examples of calculations. These are the acceptance criterias that must be fullfilled:
- Users must be able to input an amount/price
- Users must be able to pick a year and choose a month or yearly average for the date range
- All fields must be filled
- Users must be presented with the results of the computation after pressing a button
- The results must include the new amount/price of the currency and the increase in percentage
We will be prepping a few things for you by using NextJs, you may refactor and make as many adjustments as you'd like.
Optional tasks:
- Error handling for data fetching
- Form validation
- Testing (e.g. functional, non-functional)
- Visualization (e.g. highcharts)
- Universal design and accessibility
- Does your solution follow design and accessibility principles? (e.g. WCAG)
- Bonus: Authentication
- Add login and authorization to your application
There are two versions of the inflation calculator, where the calculator at the front page is a simpler version:

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.
First, run the development server:
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm devOpen http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
