This document outlines the scope for this project. It will break down high-level tasks by including a description for each item. An email sign up form will be developed to allow new customers of the Creative Market site to register and obtain trial access. Users who have already registered will not be able to sign up again (through the long form) and instead be redirected to another view.
- PHP 7+
- MySQL 5.7.2
A full list of requirements can be found here https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/installation#server-requirements.
This project was tested against the latest versions of Safari, Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. Mobile testing was done on an android mobile device. Due to the lack of tools available, I was not able to test with older versions of Internet Explorer or Apple devices.
- First, run
composer install. - Add your .env file to the project's root folder. Replace the site name and database information with the appropriate environment info.
- Then run
php artisan key:generate - Create and migrate the database. You may run the command
php artisan migrateor import the latest SQL dump from the "/database/dumps" folder. - Test away. In order to test the form, there need to be existing users in the database.
- Finally, report any bugs and then hire the developer because you made him feel bad.
- Create the frontend view and form.
- Frontend validation (Vue Js)
- Set up the backend (Laravel 5.6)
- Routing
- User Controller (includes validation)
- User Model
- Database MySQL setup (See below for schema)
- Interactive animations
Just to note. Some of the columns come with the Laravel User model by default. A migration was later added to include the fields of "trial_expires" and "plan_ends_at". I added these columns because the real user database most likely has something like this. In this project, they are not actually being using for any functional purposes.
USERS
- id | int, primary, unsigned, autoincrements, length = 10
- email | varchar, length = 255
- password | varchar, length = 255
- created_at | timestamp, nullable
- updated_at | timestamp, nullable
- trial_expires | timestamp, nullable
- plan_ends_at | timestamp, nullable
The form checks for a valid domain and a valid email. It then checks the database to see if a record already exists. The database dump is seeded with 4 user records. Those records belong to employees of The Creative Market. I promise to remove this repository when the Creative Market team is done reviewing.
