This repository holds the source of a voucher service. A small demo for a service application written in PHP 7.4 and Symfony 5 using Doctrine and Messenger Component to generate vouchers for orders.

For correct working inside the project, please note following dependencies:

• Infrastructure:
  • Docker
  • Docker Compose
• Dependent Services:
  • MariaDB
  • RabbitMQ
  • SQLite
• Coding language:
  • PHP 7.4
• Framework and components:
  • Symfony 5 with Symfony Flex
  • Doctrine and Doctrine ORM
  • Symfony Messenger Component
• Code quality and test development:
  • PHPUnit
  • PHPStan
  • PHP Coding Standards Fixer

Note: For more detailed dependencies take a look into the configurations:

• Docker Compose config: docker-compose.yml
• Application Docker config: app/Dockerfile
• Symfony application config: app/composer.json

To get involved into the development of this project you need to get a local copy of this repository:

git clone [email protected]:bassix/voucher-service.git
cd voucher-service

Note: This project is based on the GitFlow branching model and workflow.

Before the application environment can be started we need to generate an environment specific configuration specially for local development:

./env.sh

Note: the .env file holds the following main environment variables:

• The HOST_UID and HOST_GID of your local user and this ID's are used inside the container to get access to the volumes with right permissions.
• The PHP_DATE_TIMEZONE to configure the time zone the application is running. The most common is Europe/Berlin. The default value is set to UTC.
• The OPCACHE_VALIDATE_TIMESTAMPS to activate 1 or deactivate 0 the opcache rebuild by each request. Set this to 0 in development mode.

Now lets start the Docker Compose environment:

docker-compose up -d --build

Note: The current configuration is binding the local project as a volume into the container.

Install all relevant dependencies:

docker exec --user www-data app composer install --dev

The main part of this service is the Symfony application it self. Following process is the main part of the implementation:

Draw.io source: docs/process/order-voucher-service.drawio

All resources for the service application are located inside the app/ directory. To run the following commands, change to this location.

For a better development and testing of the functionality the app provides some helpful console commands:

• Generate a fake order to get a voucher:

  docker exec --user www-data app bin/console app:order-voucher:create

• Generate an order message to get a voucher:

  docker exec --user www-data app bin/console app:order-voucher:message

• List all existing orders and vouchers:

  docker exec --user www-data app bin/console app:order-voucher:list

By default, the database schema will be created by migration (or database fixtures located at mariadb/fixtures/voucher.sql).

Alternative the Doctrine commands can be used to start with an empty database:

docker exec --user www-data app bin/console doctrine:database:create
docker exec --user www-data app bin/console make:migration
docker exec --user www-data app bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

Note: if something went horribly wrong, you can start from the ground up by recreating the whole database (all existing migrations should be deleted):

docker exec --user www-data app bin/console doctrine:database:drop --force

Note: Why ever, the SQLite connection isn't working :/ So please use this workaround:

docker exec --user www-data app bin/console doctrine:database:drop --force
docker exec --user www-data app bin/console doctrine:database:create
docker exec --user www-data app bin/phpunit

Run PHPUnit tests:

docker exec --user www-data app bin/phpunit

Run phpstan to make statical analyse of the code. (Level from 0 to 7, where 0 is the most loose, 7 is the strongest. 0 is default):

docker exec --user www-data app vendor/phpstan/phpstan/phpstan analyse --level 7

Run php-cs-fixer to fix errors in code (use --dry-run option only to see errors):

docker exec --user www-data app vendor/friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer/php-cs-fixer fix

Documentation and constructor with more detailed information could be found at https://mlocati.github.io/php-cs-fixer-configurator.

This service is based on Symfony Flex. The following steps were performed to create the basic project and application structure.

Create a new project from the Symfony Flex recipe:

composer create-project symfony/skeleton app

Install Doctrine support via the orm Symfony pack, as well as the MakerBundle, which will help generate some code:

composer require symfony/orm-pack

After the entities were created the initial schema migration was generated:

docker exec --user www-data app bin/console doctrine:migrations:diff

The PHPUnit Testing Framework:

composer require --dev symfony/phpunit-bridge

PHPStan Symfony Framework extensions and rules:

composer require --dev phpstan/phpstan-symfony

PHP Coding Standards Fixer Symfony Framework extensions and rules:

composer require --dev friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer
