Concentrix code challenge!

Overview

Concentrix Corporate Groups Module for Magento 2.4 is designed to manage corporate groups through a rest API and link them with customers.

Installation

Composer (recommended)

In the root directory of magento, execute the following command:

composer require concentrix/module-corporate-group

If there are any problems trying to install this package, update to the latest version of composer

composer self-update --2

Git

On the main page of the repository, click the "Code" button and clone the repository via git, or click "Download Zip" to download the module and add it to Magento manually in app/code/Concentrix/CorporateGroup directory

In both cases (composer or git), execute the following command in the root directory of magento:

bin/magento s:up

This should be enough for the module to start working correctly, although in a few cases, it will be necessary to deploy the static content. This can be done with the following command:

bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

How to consume the API

Since this web API is exposed to anonymous users, it can be accessed without the need for a token or authentication of any kind.

The urls must be formed in the following way:

http://<magento_url>/rest/all/{endpoint}

For the definition of the endpoints of this web API in a visual way, you can access the Swagger UI of Magento at:

http://<magento_url>/swagger/#/concentrixCorporateGroupCorporateGroupRepositoryV1

To consume the API, you can either download a REST client (such as Postman or Insomnia) to make the corresponding requests, or you can perform a direct curl command. (You can even run it directly from Swagger UI!)

Curl example

curl -X 'POST' \
  'http://magento2.test/rest/all/V1/concentrix/corporate-groups' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "corporateGroup": {
    "internal_code": "string",
    "name": "string",
    "email": "string",
    "telephone": "string"
  }
}'

Manage corporate groups

There are 4 main endpoints:

1. Create a new corporate group

V1/concentrix/corporate-groups POST

Request example

{
  "corporateGroup": {
    "internal_code": "unique_code",
    "name": "Test Group Name or Label",
    "email": "test@concentrix.com",
    "telephone": "+525512345678"
  }
}

2. Get a corporate group

V1/concentrix/corporate-groups/{internalCode} GET

Request example

There is no request body for this, the internal_code must be passed by URL

3. Delete a corporate group

V1/concentrix/corporate-groups PUT

For this endpoint, I didn't use the DELETE method because of a bug I couldn't resolve :( sorry

Request example

{
  "internalCode": "unique_code"
}

4. Search corporate group(s)

V1/concentrix/corporate-groups GET

There is no request body for this, the URL must conform to a couple of SearchCriteria parameters (more details in Swagger UI of your Magento instance)

V1/concentrix/corporate-groups?searchCriteria%5BfilterGroups%5D%5B0%5D%5Bfilters%5D%5B0%5D%5Bfield%5D={field_name}&searchCriteria%5BfilterGroups%5D%5B0%5D%5Bfilters%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D={value}

Example (To search by phone)

V1/concentrix/corporate-groups?searchCriteria%5BfilterGroups%5D%5B0%5D%5Bfilters%5D%5B0%5D%5Bfield%5D=telephone&searchCriteria%5BfilterGroups%5D%5B0%5D%5Bfilters%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D=+525512345678

Bind customer group to a customer

There are also 2 additional endpoints to link a client to a business group:

1. Link a corporate group to a customer by customer ID

V1/concentrix/corporate-groups/link-customer-by-id POST

Request example

{
  "internalCode": "unique_code",
  "customerId": 1
}

2. Link a corporate group to a customer by customer email

V1/concentrix/corporate-groups/link-customer-by-email POST

Request example

{
  "internalCode": "unique_code",
  "customerEmail": "example@concentrix.com"
}

It is also possible to link a customer with an existing corporate group through the Magento administrator, going to Customers > All Customers then clicking on the customer of your choice and going to the Account Information tab

That's it!
