Effect Code Test

The object of this test is to upload a base64 encoded PDF & use AWS Textract API to extract the text and store the result in a DB.

To Use:

• Checkout code from GitHub
• Install composer dependencies
• Populate .env file (database & AWS credentials)
• Run php artisan migrate
• Run php artisan generate:test-token to generate a bearer token
• Using the generated token make a POST request to /api/pdf/store with 'file' set as the base64encoded pdf in the body (I used a single page PDF with dummy text)
• If successful you will recieve the created object in the response
• If unsuccessful you will recieve an error response with message

Additions.

If I was to spend more time on this project the main thing I would chamge would be to move the proccessing logic to a queue (with AWS' async commands) which would keep the API's response time down.
I would also add more fine-grained permissions and possibly a UI to see all of the processed documents etc
