An empty sceleton for a text parser

If you want to solve the problem in PHP, this repo contains an already prepared sceleton for a php app. If you want to use a different language, feel free to do so.

Commands to make php run

• composer install :)
• php console.php parse-input "foo bar"
• "phpunit" for unit testing

Work Description

A text input can contain certain patterns that we want to detect and filter out. Think of a todo list app, that automatically detects certain things out of your given text input. Your task is to model a system that is capable of doing so and that would also be easily maintainable and extensible. Three default detectors should be implemented on the way: The expected input => output is shown as a JSON here, but can be printed in any flavor you want.
