The Duke of Berkshire

This test-project was created as part of a job interview for Kixx Concept.

Valet

This project was developed with the use of Laravel Valet. A simple and fast way to locally host a development environment on macOS.

Setup

Below are the steps needed in order to setup this project 0. Clone this repository on your local machine ( I suggest using Valet, see the quick guide above ).

1. Install dependencies with npm install and composer install
2. Duplicate the .env.example file and name it .env ( or rename .env.example to .env ).
3. Execute php artisan key:generate to generate a unique APP_KEY
4. Set up a database in your favourite program. The default name in .env is berkshire, if you rename it, make sure to update the .env-file.
5. Execute php artisan migrate --seed in order to migrate all tables and fill them with dummy data.
6. See the next section on how to setup mail service (MailHog)

Mail

For development: a test mail service (MailHog) has been set up. Emails are not sent to the address, but rather are caught in MailHog and can be seen for development/testing purposes. To visualise the email traffic, follow these steps:

1. Execute: brew install mailhog
2. Execute: brew services start mailhog
3. In the browser navigate to: {baseurl}/articles/{1}, fill in the form at the bottom of the page and hit the submit button 'verstuur nu'.
4. In the browser navigate to: http://127.0.0.1:8025/ to see how and what is being mailed
