Welcome to Neurony Test

In this test, you will have to fulfill several tasks, by fully respecting the requirements and restrictions.

Description

The application consists of only one page accessible at http://test.local/.
On that page a fully functional filtering of App\Post records is implemented by using the App\Repositories\EloquentPostSearchRepository.php repository class.

Duration

3-5 hours

Installation

• Clone this repository
• Copy the contents of .env.example into your .env file
• Apply the other usual Laravel installation steps
• Your application should be available at http://neurony-test.local

Tasks (you must follow all Restrictions for each task)

Task 1

• Create a PostFactory class
• Modify the DatabaseSeeder class to seed 3 users and 50 posts

Task 2

As already, mentioned this application filters App\Post records by using the App\Repositories\EloquentPostSearchRepository class.
You will have to change this filtering logic to work with Elasticsearch.

Requirements

• In App\Http\Controllers\IndexController, replace EloquentPostSearchRepository with SearchableContract (https://www.screencast.com/t/GwQbtBCq)
• Create a new repository class called App\Repositories\ElasticearchPostSearchRepository and in here write the code for filtering the records
• The Elasticsearch index should be called test

Restrictions

• Besides the change mentioned above, you are not allowed to alter the App\Http\Controllers\IndexController class in any other way.

This task is considered complete when the user is able to filter posts in exactly the same way as before, but using Elasticsearch.

Task 3

Now that your filtering with Elasticsearch is complete, it's time to notify every seeded user (Task 1) each time a search happens.

Requirements

• Use Laravel's notifications system to send notifications only via database.
• Alter the notifications table and add a new column called count.
• Your App\Repositories\ElasticearchPostSearchRepository should use the App\Traits\NotifiesPostSearches trait.
• Send a App\Notifications\NewPostSearch notification to all users every time a search happens.
• The data column in the notifications table should contain only the subject of the notification and an array containing the ids of posts resulted from the respective search criteria
• The count column in the notifications table should contain the count of posts the respective search returned

Restrictions

• You are not allowed to modify the App\Traits\NotifiesPostSearches trait at all.
• You are not allowed to modify the App\Contracts\SearchableContract interface at all.
• Your App\Repositories\ElasticearchPostSearchRepository class should directly implement ALL required methods.
• For sending notifications, you should use the sendNewPostSearchNotifications method from the App\Traits\NotifiesPostSearches trait and not the one from the interface (see App\Providers\EventServiceProvider).

This task is considered complete when after a search is performed on the site, a new notification is inserted in the notifications database table for each user.
The notification should respect the format with an extra column.

Happy coding
