This challenge was developed using:

• Laravel
• PHP 7.4 (but compatible with 7.3)
• MySql
• Docker

Configuration was kept to a minimal to reduce project dependencies. Queuing is configured to run sychronously and mailing jobs will print to stderr by default (see terminal for mail jobs).

An .env file was committed for the purpose of reducing the amount of setup requied. Normally, this file shouldn't be committed for the sake of not exposing secrets.

Bundled assets were also commited to this repository to ensure that a simple php server could run this project. See Building Assets

1. Clone and cd into the project

   > git clone https://github.com/Syntaf/dealer_inspire.git
   > cd dealer_inspire
   

2. Create a new volume for MySql

   > docker volume create dealer_inspire_mysql
   

3. Startup the containers

   > docker-compose up
   

4. In another terminal, run the migrations then visit https://localhost:9999/

   > docker-compose exec app php artisan migrate
   

5. Submit an inquiry through the contact form and check the terminal to see the mail being sent through stderr!

To run tests with Docker, use the following command:

docker-compose run app php artisan test

While Docker is recommended, to adhere to the challenge requirements one can also run this project locally.

1. Clone and cd into the project

   > git clone https://github.com/Syntaf/dealer_inspire.git
   > cd dealer_inspire
   

2. Install dependencies and run migrations (assuming you have a database available named dealer_inspire)

   > composer install
   > php artisan migrate
   

3. Create a PHP server and visit https://localhost:9999/

   > php -S 127.0.0.1:9999 -t public
   

Precompiled assets have been committed to this project already, but if you'd like to rebuild the assets use the following commands:

Note: If using docker, run docker-compose exec app /bin/bash before performing the following steps

1. Install frontend dependencies

   > npm install
   

2. Build assets

   > npm run dev
