Nativo Blog

David Gaitan's Laravel Code Test.

Requirements

Technologies that needs to be used for developing the code:

• Laravel version 5.7 https://laravel.com/docs/5.7
• Twitter bootstrap min version 3.3 with Flex layout is preferable
• Jquery
• HTML/CSS
• Mysql or Mariadb
• Please share the code via git once ready

How to install it?

1. Clone this project in your local computer
2. Run composer install (php 7.4 is required since it is a Laravel 5.)
3. Copy .env file. cp .env.example .env
4. Generate app key php artisan key:generate
5. Create a mysql database and connect it using laravel .env. By Default it will look for a root user and a password named nativoblog. See .env to change values.
6. Run migrations by php artisan migrate
7. Seed the database by running php artisan db:seed
8. Run server php artisan serve
9. Go to localhost:8000 and use taylor@otwell.com and secret as password to login as an admin. See database/seeds/DatabaseSeeder.php file to check for other user types. All users use secret as password.

Bonus

I added some tests to ensure the behavior of permissions in users (I decided build a simple solution instead of using a library to handle it). ./vendor/bin/phpunit

Task description:

Major efforts in css styling is not required. Basic usage of twitter bootstrap and jquery is required.
