PHP Interview Task

Build a simple REST API from scratch using Symfony and Doctrine ORM, using a preferred database backend of your choice.

Entities

app is an entity stored in database with these properties:

• id - numeric database id (should never be returned in api response)
• publicId - random 6 character string
• name - textfield 20 characters
• environments - one-to-many relation to environment entities

environment is an entity stored in database with these properties:

• id - numeric database id (should never be returned in api response)
• publicId - random 6 character string
• name - textfield 20 characters
• phpVersion - one of these: 8.1, 8.2, 8.3
• app - many-to-one relation to app entity

Endpoints

The API should have five endpoints.

• Add an app with arguments:
  • name
• Add an environment with arguments:
  • name
  • phpVersion
  • appPublicId - which app this environment belongs to
• Delete environment
• Delete app (should also delete linked environments)
• List all apps and environments in a single hierarchical array

Commands

Create a Symfony CLI command to seed the database with a few randomized objects

Additional tips

• Provide instructions for how to run the project in a local environment (using docker, ddev or similar)
• Ask early if things are not clear, it's not a shame to ask for help.
• Demonstrate best practices (e.g. OOP, tests, docs), but be pragmatic about effort.
• This should not take longer than a day of work.

When you are done

• Upload your code to a fork of this repo, or to a private personal repo and add @erinbit as collaborator
• Send us an email and we will review the code and then invite you to a short video call about it
