PHP skeleton for doing coding katas

Code Kata is a term coined by Dave Thomas, co-author of the book The Pragmatic Programmer, in a bow to the Japanese concept of kata in the martial arts. A code kata is an exercise in programming which helps a programmer hone their skills through practice and repetition.

You can find some to start practicing here.

When you do programming katas, you use TDD. That's why PHPUnit is included.

Practicing a kata

You will need PHP >= 8.1 and composer.

$ composer install

You can also use a container (Docker is required):

$ docker build -t kata-php .
$ docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/data --name kata-php kata-php bash

Then, write your classes in src/ and your test cases in tests/ and run your tests.

$ bin/phpunit

TestCase examples

You will find one class and its TestCase in the project in order to help you. You can delete them.
Adder is a class that adds two numbers and AdderTest tests that.
