Implementation

fruit-scraper was implemented using the Yii2 PHP framework. The web page scraper was built as a component which uses pre-defined config to state items of interest for scraping. The component is loaded in the console's config file, making it available at application start and usable from command line. A test case was written to test the end to end functionality of the scraper.

This implementation has a dependency on Goutte (used for web scraping) and Codeception (used for the test cases).
