Deck of Cards API Wrapper

This package provides a convenient interface to interact with the Deck of Cards API (https://www.deckofcardsapi.com/). It allows you to create, manipulate, and shuffle decks and piles of cards programmatically in your JavaScript applications.

Installation

npm install deck-of-cards-api-wrapper

Usage

The package exports several functions that correspond to different API functionalities. Here's a breakdown of some key functions:

Creating Decks

  • createNewDeck(shuffled = false, jokersEnabled = false, count = 1): Creates a new shuffled (optional) deck with jokers (optional) and a specified number of decks (defaults to 1). Returns a promise resolving to the deck data as a JSON object.
  • createPartialDeck(shuffled = false, cards = DEFAULT_CARDS): Creates a new shuffled (optional) deck with a specified list of cards. Returns a promise resolving to the deck data as a JSON object.

### Managing Piles:

  • createNewPile(deck, pileName, cards): Creates a new pile named pileName within the provided deck containing the specified comma-separated list of cards. Returns a promise resolving to the pile data as a JSON object. Throws errors for missing deck or pile name.
  • listPile(deck, pileName): Lists the contents of the pile named pileName within the provided deck. Returns a promise resolving to the pile data as a JSON object. Throws errors for missing deck or pile name.

### Drawing Cards:

  • draw(deck, count = 1): Draws a specified number of cards (defaults to 1) from the provided deck. Returns a promise resolving to the drawn cards data as a JSON object. Throws an error for missing deck.
  • drawFromPile(deck, pileName, option): Draws cards from the pile named pileName within the provided deck. The option parameter can be a number specifying the count, a string specifying comma-separated card codes, or a string specifying the draw location ("bottom" or "top"). Returns a promise resolving to the drawn cards data as a JSON object. Throws errors for missing deck or pile name.

### Returning Cards:

  • returnToDeck(deck, cards): Returns a specified comma-separated list of cards (optional) to the provided deck. Returns a promise resolving to the deck data as a JSON object. Throws an error for missing deck.
  • returnFromPile(deck, pileName, cards): Returns a specified comma-separated list of cards (optional) from the pile named pileName within the provided deck to the deck. Returns a promise resolving to the deck data as a JSON object. Throws errors for missing deck or pile name.

### Shuffling:

  • shuffleDeck(deck, remaining = false): Shuffles the provided deck. Optionally shuffles only remaining cards (refer to Deck of Cards API documentation). Returns a promise resolving to the deck data as a JSON object. Throws an error for missing deck.
  • shufflePile(deck, pileName): Shuffles the pile named pileName within the provided deck. Returns a promise resolving to the pile data as a JSON object. Throws errors for missing deck or pile name.

Error Handling

This package throws custom errors (MissingDeckError and MissingPileError) for missing required parameters (deck or pileName). It also logs any other errors encountered during API calls.
