Assignment

Headless (no UI) CMS for managing articles (CRUD). Each article has its ID, title, body and timestamps (on creation and update). Managing articles is the typical set of CRUD calls including reading one and all the articles. Creating/updating/deleting data is possible only if a secret token is provided (can be just one static token).
For reading all the articles, the endpoint must allow specifyinga field to sort by including whether in an ascending or descending order + basic limit/offset pagination. The whole client-server communication must be in a JSON format. The architecture must follow Domain-Driven Design

Solution

• Symfony 4.4 LTS
• FOS Rest, Doctrine, phpunit, swagger
• Some database (tested on PgSQL)

Installation

• composer install
• set up your database in .env.(test|dev).local
• set up your APP_TOKEN in .env.(test|dev).local
• bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
• bin/phpunit

Methods

GET /api/article/list?sort=title&direction=desc&limit=11&offset=0

POST /api/article/create
{"title": "title", "body": "body"}

POST /api/article/update/{id}
{"title": "title", "body": "body"}

POST /api/article/delete/{id}

Swagger

• run symfony serve
• see http://localhost:8000/api/doc

N.B.

• I know about RESTfull, but I'm not a big fan of this
• very simple diagram
• need more time: tests for sorting, different cases
• need more time: xml format via View and ViewHandler
• it's strange, but .env.local doesn't work
• ParameterBug doesn't work too
