🍎 Fruits and 🥕 Vegetables REST API using Symfony

🎯 Goal

We want to build a service which will take a request.json sample file location: data/request.json and:

• Process the file and create two separate collections for Fruits and Vegetables
• Each collection has methods like add(), remove(), list();
• Units have to be stored as grams;
• Store the collections in a storage engine of your choice. (e.g. Database)
• Provide an API endpoint to query the collections. As a bonus, this endpoint can accept filters to be applied to the returning collection.
• Provide another API endpoint to add new items to the collections (i.e., your storage engine).
• As a bonus you might:
  • consider giving option to decide which units are returned (kilograms/grams);
  • how to implement search() method collections;
  • use latest version of Symfony's to embed your logic
