Ginger Payments PHP Assignment

Requirements

After cloning this repository, go to its root folder and run this command:

composer install

Include composer autoloader:

include_once "ginger-payments-php-assignment/vendor/autoload.php";

Then create a new Address Book:

use \GingerPayments\AddressBook;
$addressBook = new AddressBook\AddressBook("My Address Book");

To add a person, you can do this:

$person = $addressBook->addPerson("Lucas", "Araujo");

To add a group, it's as easy as adding a person:

$group = $addressBook->addGroup("Just a test group");

$group->getPersons();

$person->getGroups();

$addressBook->getPersonByName("Lucas");
$addressBook->getPersonByName("", "Araujo");

$addressBook->getPersonByEmail("luksde.ara");
$addressBook->getPersonByEmail("luk");

You should run these commands:

composer install --dev
./vendor/bin/phpunit

Find person by email address (can supply any substring, ie. "comp" should work assuming "alexander@company.com" is an email address in the address book) - discuss how you would implement this without coding the solution.

I would use PHP's native function strpos(). It searches in a string in a similar way to "LIKE '%STRING%'" in MySQL. It fits perfectly.
