The challenge

Details about the coding challenge can be found in the requirements.zip file

Installation and running

Clone the repository and run this command from the directory in which you want to install

composer install

Check that the upload directory is writable. When in doubt run

chmod 777 uploads

The database is already set up but in case you need to regenerate it, use the following command

php ./bin/SQLLIteCreateTable.php

Start the application using the php built-in webserver with the following command

composer start

From now on the application is accessible using

http://localhost:8080

Note that the application has been developed using PHP 7

PHP 7.1.23 (cli) (built: Feb 22 2019 22:19:32) ( NTS )

General Notes

Application is built using the Slim Framework v3 and my code that is not framework related boilerplate can be found in

./src/PokerHands/* 

Two routes are set up to server the index page and handle the file upload

./src/routes.php

The file upload is handled by the controller

./src/PokerHands/Controller/ImportController.php

To be done....

• Add some unit tests, especially to validate the algorithm that calculates the hand value.
• Replace the SQLite with a DB Server
• Containerize the application. (There is already a docker-compose.yml but this hasn't been checked)
