Set Up

Requirements

Docker php >= 8.2 php fpm

Docker

In the backend folder run

docker compose up -d

Database

The database credentials are in the *.env file In the backend folder, open the terminal and run:

 php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate 

To populate the database with data run the sql file located under backend/resources/timelog.sql

Web Server

We are using Symfony local web server for dev purposes. In the backend folder run:

symfony server:start

Design Considerations

We set a constraint to limit the difference between start and end date in a log entry to less than 24 hours. This of course makes sense since it's not possible to work continuously for 24 hours, and it will simplify our log managements and the processing of the statistics

Frontend

We created a single page app used Vuetify UI library on top of vuejs.

In the frontend folder, open the terminal and run:

npm ci
npm run dev

This will install the dependencies and start dev server.

The app is composed of 2 main view: the default home view with the tracking buttons, and the admin area where the user can create, delete and edit time logs. This admin area is found under http://localhost:5173/admin
