Test Your Laravel Eloquent Basic Skills
This repository is a test for you: perform a set of tasks listed below, and fix the PHPUnit tests, which are currently intentionally failing.
To test if all the functions work correctly, there are PHPUnit tests in tests/Feature/EloquentTest.php file.
In the very beginning, if you run php artisan test, or vendor/bin/phpunit, all tests fail.
Your task is to make those tests pass.
How to Submit Your Solution
If you want to submit your solution, you should make a Pull Request to the main branch.
It will automatically run the tests via GitHub Actions and will show you/me if the test pass.
If you don't know how to make a Pull Request, here's my video with instructions.
This task is mostly self-served, so I'm not planning review or merge the Pull Requests. This test is for yourselves to assess your skills, the automated tests will be your answer if you passed the test :)
Questions / Problems?
If you're struggling with some tasks, or you have suggestions how to improve the task, create a GitHub Issue.
