Deck

Deck of cards simulator

API

All responses need to be JSON.

Described on the OpenAPI spec.

Design choices

• While I didn't want to set up a database for this projects, I did create a store API of sorts, that should be fairly straightforward to change to use a database.
• The tests are intentionally un-DRY, to make avoid any logic issues within the tests themselves, and to make them easier to read.

Compromises

• Didn't set up an option for creating a deck with a select set of cards. Although all the required business logic is there to do so, it's missing that parameter handling.
• Didn't populated decks with cards with value and suit, and relied on the code attribute only.
• I wanted to setup a Swagger endpoint for the project but I ended up dropping that idea due to time constraints.

Issues

• The concurrent handlePostDeckDraw test is failing when ran with -race, and I don't understand why at the moment. I've tried replicating the issue by doing concurrent requests to the server but it never occurred. I wonder if the test itself is causing a race condition?
