This small coding test is used as part of the interview process for openings with Eclipx. There are threee main tasks to be completed within the test, with the aim of demonstrating an understanding of PHP frameworks and database processes.
The three challenges that need to be completed are:
- Create a migration script that will create a new column in the database named registration as a VARCHAR(50) field and extract the registration number from the description field to fill in this new field.
- Create an HTML view showing a summary of the invoices that lists the invoice date, invoice number, total amount net and total amount gst, client_id and the number of contracts billed.
- Provide a link from the summary page to a details page that will show the line data for a single invoice from the database, along with the same total fields at the bottom of the page.
A PHP framework of you choosing must be used, preferably one built upon Symfony.
The user added code must follow the PSR-12 coding standard.
- A UI framework is utilised
- The data retrieval for the UI is done through a REST call
- Test Driven Development methodoly implemented
- Readme on code design and framework use
The Docker files provided will build an environment with PHP, Apache, MySQL and PHPMyAdmin. docker-compose build and docker-compose up will be helpful commands once Docker Desktop is installed.
MySQL will have a database initialised and accessible through the credentials provided in the docker-compose.yaml file.
The src folder should be used to store the code required.
The Docker configuration can be updated to include Composer locally if this makes builds easier.
PHPMyAdmin can be utilised via http://localhost:8008. The PHP app can be seen at http://localhost:8000. If these ports are used by your environment already they can be updated in the Docker config.
