Junior Laravel Developer Test
- Basic Laravel Auth: ability to log in as administrator
- Use database seeds to create first user with email admin@admin.com and password “password”
- CRUD functionality (Create / Read / Update / Delete) for two menu items: Companies and Employees.
- Companies DB table consists of these fields: Name (required), email, logo (minimum 100×100), website
- Employees DB table consists of these fields: First name (required), last name (required), Company (foreign key to Companies), email, phone
- Use database migrations to create those schemas above
- Store companies logos in storage/app/public folder and make them accessible from public
- Use basic Laravel resource controllers with default methods – index, create, store etc.
- Use Laravel’s validation function, using Request classes
- Use Laravel’s pagination for showing Companies/Employees list, 10 - entries per page
- Use Laravel make:auth as default Bootstrap-based design theme, but remove ability to register
Extra Task for “Advanced” Juniors
- Use Datatables.net library to show table – with our without server-side rendering
- Use more complicated front-end theme like AdminLTE
- Email notification: send email whenever new company is entered (use Mailgun or Mailtrap)
- Make the project multi-language (using resources/lang folder)
- Basic testing with phpunit (I know some would argue it should be the basics, but I disagree)
Basically, that’s it. With this simple exercise junior developer shows the skills in basic Laravel things:
- MVC
- Auth
- CRUD and Resource Controllers
- Eloquent and Relationships
- Database migrations and seeds
- Form Validation and Requests
- File management
- Basic Bootstrap front-end
