Overview

During my studies as a software engineer with O'clock, we had the opportunity to work on a variety of small projects with a diverse tool box of programming languages, technologies and frameworks. 🧰

One of those programming languages was PHP, and for this project we were tasked to create a plateform with the Laravel framework.🐘

We were given an ER schema that we had to respect as much as possible. We were provided a style guide so that we could create a simple but elegant user interface with the Bulma framework.

You can find below the instructions that we received :

• display a list of films
• display a list of series
• display a page with a form that allows the user to import a serie or a film from an external API called API BetaSeries
• generate migrations without including foreign keys and without using database tests
• BONUS : Include foreign keys when generating migrations
• BONUS : Build associations between all the database tables inside their corresponding models : movie, show, country, and genre

Prerequesite

For a local installation :

• MySQL 8.0+
• PHP 8.0+
• Node.js 9.5+
• Composer
• BetaSeries API key

Installation

1. First you should clone the project and install all the dependencies you will need to run this project locally.

composer install & npm install

2. If you've successful installed MySQL your next step will be to create a database that you will name and provide user rights as you wish.

3. Next, a copy of the .env.example file, modify the following environment variables, add your API BetaSeries key and rename the file as .env

APP_KEY= 
BETASERIES_API_KEY=
DB_DATABASE=
DB_USERNAME=
DB_PASSWORD=

🚨 The APP_KEY environment variable is very important for the security of your application as it used for all encrypted cookies, including session cookies. 🍪

4. Therefore, don't forget to generate a new key ➡️ php artisan key:generate

5. Once this is done you can start run the migrations that I have provided for this project with this command :

 php artisan migrate

6. You can check that your database has been successfully constructed

php artisan db mysql

7. Next, you will populate your database with the seeders that I have already written for this project.

php artisan db:seed

8. You can start MySQL server

mysql.server start

Running the app

You can run the project with :

php artisan serve

Tadaaa ✨ Everything should be running smoothly overhere. .
