#Recipe Finder Challenge
for running tests insure that composer is run
composer install
From the root directory run the following command
php src/index.php <ingredients CSV> <recipes JSON>
replacng ingredients CSV with the path to the the a CSV file and recipes JSON with the path to the json file
example:
php src/index.php ./resources/fridge.csv ./resources/recipes.json
The above example will always return no result as the expiry dates provided are in the past. An example of a working test with valid dates can be found using the following example:
php src/index.php ./resources/fridge2015.csv ./resources/recipes.json
Given a list of items in the fridge (presented as a csv list), and a collection of recipes (a collection of JSON formatted recipes), produce a recommendation for what to cook tonight.
Program should be written to take two inputs; fridge csv list, and the json recipe data. How you choose to implement this is up to you; you can write a console application which takes input file names as command line args, or as a web page which takes input through a form.
The only rule is that it must run and return a valid result using the provided input data.
Create a command line PHP application that uses PHPUnit testing.
The Application will consist of 2 data services:
- Will parse and valid the CSV input file
- Will parse and valid the JSON file
CSV Validation needs to ensure each row of the CSV contains 4 columns.
| Column | Type |
|---|---|
| 1 | String |
| 2 | Int |
| 3 | String |
| 4 | DateTime |
JSON Validation needs to ensure the data structure is an array of objects.
Each object must contain 2 key/value pairs
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| name | String |
| ingredients[] | Array of objects |
ingredients should not be empty (incomplete recipe). Each array row contains an object of 2 key/value pairs
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| item | String |
| amount | Int |
| unit | String |
- An ingredient that is past its useby date cannot be used for cooking.
- If more than one recipe is found, then preference should be given to the recipe with the closest useby item
- If no recipe is found, the program should return “Order Takeout”
- Program should be allinclusive and a run script included
- Please provide a complete copy of a git repository, or a link to a github/public repo
- We want to be able to see your commit history
- Include unit tests
Using the sample input above, the program should return "salad sandwich".
