Howdy, this exercise is in a smaller degree what your daily work at Deskbookers could be. We hope you find it interesting, and looking forward hearing from you.
For this exercise it's necessary to have a working Node/NPM/Yarn setup and a machine with PHP (CLI) support. You can use your own web server (if you have one) or use XAMP (https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html) to install one on your own machine.
Before you start make sure to clone this project.
In this exercise we have an example database structure and some models which represent them. Included in this exercise is a SQLite3 database (and source files), PHP models and some extra PHP application code which exposes a simple List/Query for Venues and all the relational data that belongs to a Venues.
To start the php applications:
php -S localhost:3030 -t src/php
The PHP API has a throws some errors/returns invalid data in some of the endpoints. Could you please fix them ?
In the Venues list endpoint, could you add for each venue an array with the items name?
We now need to migrate all this code to a Node application that:
- A representation of the same models (you can write your own SQL or use a queryBuilder/ORM/etc)
- Exposes the same endpoints and functionality
- Add a new endpoint to create / update / delete
Venues
You're free to use any dependencies/frameworks you want, there is a folder that you can use to put your code src/node. But do make sure that it works on Node 8 and to include instructions on how to run it.
- Validate the model when creating a new venue through the API endpoint
- Automated unit tests on the new Node application
