CSV File Manipulator

Tech Specs

• Vanilla PHP 7

  • The specs for this app suggested I use vanilla PHP instead of a framework, so that's what I did. The only class that I did not develop from a blank page was the autoloader class. That was a class I had laying around from another project, but I developed it from a blank page, just not during this project. The structure of the project is very Laravel-ish. I have routes defined in index.php that could be direct drop-ins for a Laravel project. The routes are mapped to a Pages controller that does a little logic and then spits out a view. The views are php/html files that are like templates.

• Javascript.

  • The only Javascript I "wrote" for this app was copied and pasted from the mdbootstrap site to initialize the data table. There is some Javascript included for the app, but that is all for bootstrap.

• Html / CSS.

  • I am not a designer, so bootstrap does all the heavy lifting in terms of making the presentation acceptable. I am using the material design version of bootstrap, but the classes I chose to use are mostly the regular bootstrap classes.

• Git / Github.

  • The project uses git and github. There is a link in the upper right hand corner to view the source. I directly downloaded mdbootstrap rather than use npm. I have excluded the bootstrap files from the repository, so if you clone it, you will need to download mdbootstrap as an additional step.
