We are looking for a skilled contractor or freelancer to join us on a project to build an ecommerce web interface for an online pharmacy. Your role will be to work with our existing team following a set of coding guidelines which strive to produce code that is readable, maintainable, scalable and testable to develop software that has maximum value, longevity, minimal technical debt and can be easily understood. We 're looking for... - 5+ years experience. Good knowledge of best practice in development. Ability to work independently as part of a small, experienced team. Coding Guidelines Include SOLID principles Coding should follow SOLID principles as detailed in this document. Single responsibility Each class and method has one job. Controller methods should only take care of business logic. Request validation, authorisation, request to model mapping, model output transformation should be abstracted out to injectable classes. Separation of concerns Each class and method works independently and doesn’t rely on anything that cannot be injected into it. Instantiating other classes within it (eg with the app() helper) should be avoided; use dependency injection instead. Facades should be avoided. Thin controller methods Controller methods should be thin with all non business logic and additional functionality abstracted elsewhere. Database layer Doctrine ORM is preferred over Eloquent active record for reasons of scalability, separation of concerns, single responsibility, testing, relationship and database management. The repository pattern should be used. Models should be thin and database querying should be exclusive to repository classes. Getters and setters should be used to avoid the use of Eloquent magic properties. Business logic in model classes should be avoided as business logic is not the responsibility of the model. Class methods and properties Classes should use protected methods instead of private to allow classes to be extended. Public properties should be avoided and getters and setters should be used instead. Avoid powerful objects (including models) Avoid building classes that have responsibility outside of their remit. In particular, in models, input, output and data access methods should be abstracted to service classes such as repositories, input mapper and output transformers. Service based approach Classes and methods should make use of reusable service classes that perform a single function. A service class should be stateless so that its public methods can be called multiple times, with parameters, with no impact from previous calls to the method. Dependency injection / low coupling Use extensively, including for controller methods. Comment extensively to benefit from IDE code hinting. Use of the app() helper, static functions and facades should be avoided as this creates highly coupled classes. Code to interfaces, not instantiated classes Non-framework injectable classes such as service classes should implement an interface. Constructors and methods should expect an interface, not an instantiated class. Terse, readable code Write short classes and methods without compromising readability and type hinting. Use human readable names, even if they are longer. Comment all methods. Comment variables that cannot automatically be type hinted by the IDE. High cohesion A class should refer only to variables, methods, and properties within itself and classes that have been injected in. It should not refer to anything outside of itself such as global variables, static classes, facades or helpers Custom requests Extensive use should be made of custom requests injected into controller methods to abstract validation and authorisation out of the controller method. API input mapper services API controller methods that map a request to a model should use an injected mapper class, designed for the specific method and model. Reliance on request- >all() and a model’s $fillable property should be avoided. A model may have multiple mappers for different use cases. API transformer services API methods that return a JSON response should use an injected transformer class to generate the required array of data. These transformers are passed a database model or collection and return an array suitable for consumption by the client. A model may have multiple transformers for different use cases. No business logic in output code There should be no business logic or database querying in output code such as blade templates. Model policies / routing All routes should be protected by middleware that can authorise access to the bound models or models referred to in the request. Model policies should be used. Controller methods should not be responsible for request authorisation or validation. Models and requests reaching a controller method should already be authorised and validated Reference ID: Back End Dev Contract length: 3 months Job Types: Full-time, Temporary, Contract Experience:
