Splash Code Test

Assignment

Your goal is to create a simple event management app. The requirements are as follows:

There shall be an event dashboard showing all of my events
There shall be a way to add new events
There shall be a way for a guest to rsvp to an event
The event dashboard shall show a count of current attendees.
The fields should properly handle unicode characters (in case my name is Señor Tacos)
The event dashboard should list the event title, start_time, and end_time
If an event does not have a start_time it should be listed as TBD (To Be Determined)
One should be able to easily see the event in groups of Upcoming, Past, and TBD.
The table should be sortable by Title, and start_time, with TBD events taking precedence.

Feel free to use any tools or frameworks you like!

Bonus points

For extra awesome-points, the dashboard should be updated in real-time when anyone makes an update (adds an event, a guest RSVPs to the event, etc...)

Database

We have provided a simple SQL schema file to get you started. You should import the schema file into the database created as part of the setup.

If you make any changes to the database, feel free to just supply the updated SQL dump; if you're feeling fancy, you may write a migration.

Submitting

When you're ready to submit, zip up your code and email it back to us.

Set up

Install Docker for your operating system: OSX, Windows, or Linux.
Clone this repository.
In Terminal, go into the cloned repository and run docker-compose up -d
- This will download the Docker images and run the install
Run docker ps and you should see two containers running: one for web, one for db.
Go to http://127.0.0.1:8080 in your browser and you should see index.html in the www folder.

To access the database

In your favorite MySQL browsing application (we recommend Sequel Pro for OSX and HeidiSQL for Windows), use the following credentials:

Property	Value
Host	127.0.0.1
Username	splash
Password	splash
Port	3306
DatabaseName	SplashCodeTest

To develop

Add all your code into the www folder.

When configuring your code, use a database host of db (rather than 127.0.0.1).

If you need to get into the container (for example, to run composer install), run the following in your Terminal: docker exec -it codetest_web_1 /bin/sh. You will be in the /www folder which is mounted to the www folder you have been developing in.

Composer is already installed inside the Docker container, so once you connect to the container, you can run composer to do whatever is necessary.

Changes for frameworks

If you need to make a change for a framework - for example, changing the root public folder:

Edit docker/nginx.conf and change the root paths on lines 44 and 51
From your local Terminal, run docker-compose build and docker-compose up -d to update the container
