Market Trade Processor

Demo application that processes currency exchange transactions using Laravel Lumen.

Requirements

PHP >= 5.5.9 with OpenSSL, Mbstring, Tokenizer, PDO and SQLite extensions.
Composer command available via your $PATH shell variable.

Install

To install the application run these commands:

git clone https://github.com/Stolz/MarketTradeProcessor.git --depth 1
cd MarketTradeProcessor && composer install --no-dev

Configure

Note: From now on all the suggested commands must be executed within the MarketTradeProcessor directory created in the previous step.

For the application to work first the database has to be populate with initial data by running:

cp .env.example .env
touch storage/database.sqlite
php artisan migrate --seed

Use

To be able to use the message consumer and the messages front-end run the next command:

php artisan serve

This will start the application using PHP's built-in web server and it will give you access to http://localhost:8000/, the only endpoint of the application.

Send a GET HTTP request to the endpoint to show the messages front-end. You may simply use your browser.
Send a POST HTTP request to the endpoint to queue new messages for the message processor. You may use the form available in the front-end to send such request.

To execute the message processor run from another console the next command:

php artisan queue:work --daemon

Testing

composer install
./vendor/bin/phpunit

Notes

For demonstration purposes debug/development mode is intentionally enabled by default.
For the sake of simplicity the database, session, queue and cache features are configured to use SQLite but other options such MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server, Memcached, Beanstalkd, Amazon SQS, IronMQ or Redis may be used by following the provided links.
