• Create, search, edit a contact.
• Edit the following contact properties: name, last name, description
• Add, edit, or remove the following contact properties: phone number, email, Twitter handle.
• View an alphabetical listing of contacts - Sort the contact listing by date added

Techniques

The application uses Laravel Framework (A php based framework) for the back end, for example; server side validation, database connection, database migrations, routes etc.

For the frontend it uses vue.js to create a single page experience and interactive feeling. Styling is done based on Bootstrap 4, and to compile and version everything webpack used under the hood. To have easy webpack configuration Laravel provides defaults in it's Laravel Mix.
