MySQL: The application uses MySQL as the database and using LARAVEL ORM to storing and managing data.

Key Components

Models

• PurchaseOrder
• PurchaseOrderItem
• Category

Controllers

The PurchaseOrderController is the primary controller responsible for handling the purchase orders requests. This controller ensures that the CRUD process is streamlined and encapsulates the business logic.

File: ShortUrlController.php

Factories

I have utilized Laravel's factory feature to streamline the process of generating dummy data for testing purposes, enhancing the efficiency of our development workflow.

• PurchaseOrderFactory.php
• PurchaseOrderItemFactory.php

Request Classes

I have employed Laravel's Request class to validate both create and update requests, ensuring data integrity and consistency.

• StorePurchaseOrderRequest.php
• UpdatePurchaseOrderRequest.php

Resources

I have utilized Laravel resources to define the structure of the response body that the API consumer will receive.

• PurchaseOrderResource.php
• PurchaseOrderResourceItem.php
• CategoryResource.php

Tests

The application includes tests to maintain code quality and ensure the reliability of the URL shortening functionality.
