PHP Technical Task

Suggested recipes for lunch API

Time management

There is no deadline to do this tech task. It's up to you how you manage your time to accomplish at least the requirements.

Assessment

Our assessment criteria will pay attention on:

• How the application is structured.
• Code quality (Clean code).
• Quality of tests.
• Interpretation of the problem.
• Use of git.
• Implementation and final execution.
• Commits, as this will allow us to understand some of the decisions you make throughout the process.

User Story

As a User I would like to make a request to an API that will determine from a set of recipes what I can have for lunch today based on the contents of my fridge, so that I quickly decide what I’ll be having.

Acceptance Criteria

• Given that I have made a request to the /lunch endpoint I should receive a JSON response of the recipes that I can prepare based on the availability of ingredients in my fridge.
• Given that an ingredient is past its use-by date (inclusive), I should not receive recipes containing this ingredient.
• Given that an ingredient is past its best-before date (inclusive), but is still within its use-by date (inclusive), any recipe containing the oldest (less fresh) ingredient should placed at the bottom of the response object.

Additional Criteria

• The application SHOULD contains unit / integration tests (e.g. PHPUnit).
• The application MUST be completed using an OOP approach.
• The application MUST be PSR compliant.
• Any dependencies MUST be installed using Composer (no need to commit dependencies, the composer.lock file will be sufficient).
• Use PHP5.6 or PHP7.
• Any installation, build steps, testing and usage instructions MUST be provided in a README.md file in the root of the application.

Framework

Use the Symfony micro framework (https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup.html) to create the application API.

Application Data

For the purpose of this task, the application should simply read data from 2 x JSON files. The contents for these files can be found here and here.

Submission

The application should be committed to a public repository on GitHub or BitBucket (<lastname>-<firstname>-techtask-php) and simply send us a link to the repository.

Bonus

Configure a Docker environment so that we can test and run the application quickly. The application should be installed with a single command.
