Duration

3-5 hours

Installation

*** Any other necessary steps depending on your local environment

Tasks

You must follow all REQUIREMENTS & RESTRICTIONS for each task

Task 1

Populate the database with 50 posts.

Requirements

• No matter how many times I run the seeder I want to always have exactly 50 posts in the database table.
• Those exact 50 posts have to be the posts from my latest execution of the command.

Completed

This task is considered completed when by running the command (one or more times) I will have exactly 50 posts in my posts database table.

Task 2

This application filters post records using the App\Repositories\DatabasePostSearchRepository class, which if you've inspected you noticed that the DB facade is used to directly access the database.

You will have to switch the filtering logic to work based on Eloquent, thus using your App\Models\Post model as reference instead of the DB facade.

Requirements

• Create a new repository class called App\Repositories\EloquentPostSearchRepository and in here write the code for filtering the records

Restrictions

• You cannot change anything inside App\Http\Controllers\HomeController, except for what parameters the index method receives.
• Even though you can change the method signature of the index method, present on the App\Http\Controllers\HomeController, you are not allowed to bind App\Repositories\EloquentPostSearchRepository to it.

Completed

This task is considered complete when upon entering the homepage, I'm able to filter posts in exactly the same way as before, but using the App\Repositories\EloquentPostSearchRepository functionality.

Task 3

Restrict users to filter posts based on their IP.

Requirements

• Each IP can filter posts once every 6 seconds
• If the same IP tries to filter posts more than once in a 6 second time period, throw an exception
• Any IP can view the homepage (as is, not filtered whatsoever) as many times as he pleases, without being restricted

Completed

This task is considered complete when a user cannot filter posts more than once every 6 seconds, but can view the default homepage as many times as he wants (by refreshing the page).

Task 4

Write tests that assert your App\Repositories\EloquentPostSearchRepository class filters posts correctly.

Requirements

• Write at least on test for every filtering method present inside App\Repositories\EloquentPostSearchRepository

Restrictions

• Place your tests inside the tests/Integration/EloquentPostSearchRepositoryTest.php class.

Completed

This task is considered complete when each filter method present on the App\Repositories\EloquentPostSearchRepository is tested and I can run the tests by running vendor/bin/phpunit from the project root.

Task 5

Develop a deploy script, that when ran, it will install the project from ground up, without me having to run every command necessary in order to setup a Laravel project.

Assumptions

• The person installing the project is responsible for having his local environment setup already
• The person installing the project is responsible for having the .env file setup before running the script
• The person installing the project is responsible for having a working database created before running the script

Requirements

• The script should accept a parameter (the git branch), so I can run this on any environment (dev, staging, production).
• PRO TIP: given the branch parameter requirement, one step in your deploy script should be git pull origin {branch}

Completed

This task is considered complete when only after the following commands, I will have your project up & running on my local machine:

• git clone {your-repo}
• run your deploy script

Happy coding
