Advent of Code wrapper
======================

[](#advent-of-code-wrapper)

This is an Advent of Code solution wrapper built on Laravel Zero.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Valid years

[](#valid-years)

You can change which years are valid challenge years by changing the `LOWEST_YEAR` and `CURRENT_YEAR` environment variables. The `CURRENT_YEAR` is used as a fallback for any commands that are run without a given year.

### API session

[](#api-session)

You will need to grab your `session` ID from the Advent of Code website. This is used for downloading your unique input for each day's challenge.

You can do this by logging into the [Advent of Code](https://adventofcode.com) website and then copying the string stored in the cookie called `session`. Once you've got that copied, paste it in your `.env` file under the `AOC_SESSION` key.

Commands
--------

[](#commands)

### Make Solution

[](#make-solution)

The `adventofcode make {day}` command creates a solution file and downloads your unique input for the specified day's challenge. By default, it will retrieve challenges from the year you specified in your `CURRENT_YEAR` environment variable. This can be set at runtime with the `--year` option.

For example, the following will create a solution for the 7th day in 2021:

```
$ php adventofcode make 7 --year=2021
```

### Solutions

[](#solutions)

You can run the solutions for a given day or year with the `day` or `year` commands.

For example, the following will run the solution for the 7th day in 2021:

```
$ php adventofcode day 7 --year=2021
```

And the following will run all the available solutions for 2021.

```
$ php adventofcode year 2021

```

Refactoring
-----------

[](#refactoring)

To aid with refactoring, you can set the answers for any solution by setting the `$answers`property on any of your Solution classes.

Let's say the answers for part A and part B of a solution are `383` and `493`, you can set them with the following code:

```
protected array $answers = [
    'partOne' => 383,
    'partTwo' => 493,
];
```

By doing this, running any of your solution commands will display whether your solution has the correct answer or not.
