Building Search and Table UI | Dataford Interview Questions

How would you build a search bar and a results table using the data I provide?

Implement the data-processing core as search_records(records, query, sort_key, page, page_size). Search case-insensitively across every string value in each record, sort matching records by sort_key in ascending order, and return the requested 1-based page. Treat an empty or whitespace-only query as matching every record. Each record is a map from strings to strings, and the output is an array of records.

Constraints

1 <= records.length <= 1000
Each record contains the requested sort_key
All record values are strings
1 <= page <= 100000
1 <= page_size <= 1000

Function Signature

def search_records(records, query, sort_key, page, page_size):

Whenever you're ready, walk me through your approach or go straight to the code. The requirements are in the Question tab.
