Lumen PHP Framework

Laravel Lumen is a stunningly fast PHP micro-framework for building web applications with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable, creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Lumen attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as routing, database abstraction, queueing, and caching.

Code Test: Lumen

A simple Lumen app designed to provide a basic API for our code test.

Quick start

1. Install PHP (7.2+) or use an environment like Laravel Homestead or Docker (see below)

2. Install composer and run composer install to install dependencies

3. Copy the .env.example file to .env and set a random string for APP_KEY

4. Run touch database/database.sqlite to create a development database

5. Run php artisan migrate to migrate your development database

6. Run php artisan db:seed to seed your development database

7. Run php -S localhost:3000 -t public to start up the local development server

You should get JSON output from http://localhost:3000/members

Testing

Run vendor/bin/phpunit tests to run the test suite.

Docker

As an alternative to installing PHP directly, you can use the Docker files provided by Laradock to run the app and test suite.

When cloning the project, use the --recurse-submodules flag to pull down the Laradock submodule

1. cd laradock

2. cp .env-example .env

3. Change NGINX_HOST_HTTP_PORT to 3000, WORKSPACE_BROWSERSYNC_HOST_PORT to 4000 and WORKSPACE_BROWSERSYNC_UI_HOST_PORT to 4001

4. docker-compose up -d nginx

Note: This could take a few minutes on the initial build

Then connect to the Docker container using docker-compose exec workspace bash to run the setup tasks above.
