# E-WIKI - Electric Vehicle Database

A modern Symfony application for browsing and searching electric vehicle information. This application provides a clean, search-engine-like interface for exploring electric vehicle brands, models, and specifications.

## Features

- **Modern Search Interface**: Google-like search experience for electric vehicles
- **Brand Directory**: Browse popular electric vehicle manufacturers
- **Vehicle Database**: Comprehensive information about electric car models and revisions
- **RESTful API**: JSON API endpoints for integration
- **PostgreSQL Integration**: Relational database for structured data storage
- **Responsive Design**: Mobile-friendly interface without external CSS frameworks

## Technology Stack

- **Backend**: Symfony 7.2 (PHP 8.3+)
- **Database**: PostgreSQL with native PDO
- **Frontend**: Vanilla JavaScript with modern CSS
- **Architecture**: Clean Architecture with SOLID principles

## Requirements

- PHP 8.3 or higher
- PostgreSQL 13 or higher
- Composer
- PostgreSQL PHP Extension (pdo_pgsql)

## Installation

1. **Clone the repository**
   ```bash
   git clone <repository-url>
   cd evwiki
   ```

2. **Install dependencies**
   ```bash
   composer install
   ```

3. **Configure environment**
   ```bash
   cp .env.local.example .env.local
   ```
   
   Edit `.env.local` and set your PostgreSQL connection:
   ```
   APP_ENV=dev
   APP_SECRET=your-secret-key-here
   DATABASE_DSN="pgsql:host=localhost;port=5432;dbname=evwiki"
   DATABASE_USER=postgres
   DATABASE_PASSWORD=postgres
   ```

4. **Start PostgreSQL**
   Make sure PostgreSQL is running on your system.

5. **Initialize the database**
   ```bash
   php bin/console app:database:init
   ```

6. **Start the development server**
   ```bash
   symfony server:start
   ```
   
   Or use PHP's built-in server:
   ```bash
   php -S localhost:8000 -t public/
   ```

## Docker Setup

You can also run the application using Docker:

1. **Start the services**
   ```bash
   docker-compose up -d
   ```

2. **Initialize the database in the container**
   ```bash
   docker-compose exec app php bin/console app:database:init
   ```

## API Endpoints

### Search
- `GET /api/search?query={term}` - Search for vehicles, brands, or models

### Brands
- `GET /api/brands` - Get all brands
- `GET /api/brands/{brandId}/models` - Get models for a specific brand

### Models
- `GET /api/models/category/{category}` - Get models by category

## Architecture

This application follows clean architecture principles:

### Domain Layer
- **Models**: Core domain models (`Brand`, `CarModel`, `CarRevision`)
- **Repositories**: Data access interfaces

### Application Layer
- **Controllers**: HTTP request handlers
- **Commands**: Console commands for data management

### Infrastructure Layer
- **PostgreSQL**: Database implementation with native PDO
- **Templates**: Twig templates for rendering

### Key Design Principles

1. **SOLID Principles**: Each class has a single responsibility
2. **Dependency Injection**: All dependencies are injected via constructor
3. **Clean Architecture**: Domain logic is independent of infrastructure
4. **Readable Code**: Self-documenting code with descriptive names

## Database Commands

### Initialize Database
Initialize the database with schema and sample data:
```bash
php bin/console app:database:init
```

### Console Commands
List all available commands:
```bash
php bin/console list
```

## Database Schema

The application uses PostgreSQL with the following main tables:

- **brands**: Electric vehicle manufacturers
- **car_models**: Vehicle models belonging to brands
- **car_revisions**: Specific revisions of car models with detailed specifications

All database operations are handled through repositories following the Repository pattern, using native PDO for optimal performance.

## Styling Guidelines

- **No External CSS Frameworks**: Pure CSS following modern standards
- **Mobile-First**: Responsive design approach
- **Clean Design**: Minimalist interface focusing on content

## Environment Variables

Required environment variables:

- `APP_ENV`: Application environment (dev/prod)
- `APP_SECRET`: Secret key for Symfony
- `DATABASE_DSN`: PostgreSQL DSN connection string
- `DATABASE_USER`: PostgreSQL username  
- `DATABASE_PASSWORD`: PostgreSQL password

## Contributing

1. Follow PSR-12 coding standards
2. Write clean, self-documenting code
3. Use dependency injection
4. Follow SOLID principles
5. Avoid else statements
6. Use meaningful variable and method names
