A sample solution to a coding challenge

Coding Challenge solution

This is the code referenced in this video.

It's a POC for the usage of Collections and Iterators in PHP.

Run

There are two entry point scripts within this project:

1. output_json.php
2. run.php

The first is just an auxiliary script used to simulate a remote webservice. In order for the demo to work there should be a webserver running this script.

Use the following command to get it setup locally:

php -S localhost:8007 output_json.php

The second is the actual script that implements the filtering logic.

To get the expected result use a command with the following structure:

OFFERS_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8007 php run.php SUBCOMMAND PARAM1 PARAM2 ... PARAMN

Available sub-commands are:

• count_by_vendor_id
• count_by_price_range

Examples:

OFFERS_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8007 php run.php count_by_vendor_id 35

OFFERS_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8007 php run.php count_by_price_range 5 20
