CardDeck

♠♥♣♦ A class to help during card games creation.

How it works

Create a fresh deck of card

This will create a classic card deck of 52 cards. The family are ordered like this : Spades, Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds. Within thoses families cards are ordered from 2 to Ace.

let myDeck = new CardDeck();

Shuffle the deck

To shuffle the deck, you can use the shuffleDeck method :

myDeck.shuffle();

Pick cards

To pick a card you can use the pickCards() method. This method returns the first card of the deck :

myDeck.pickCards();

If you wants more than one card, lets say 5, you can pass a int as parameters :

myDeck.pickCards(5); // Returns the 5 first cards of the deck

If you need to pick one or more card but randomely in the deck you can passe a boolean to pickCards methode like this :

myDeck.pickCards(5, true); // Returns 5 cards from the deck but picked randomely in the deck.

About the cards

The returned cards got those properties :

• color:String -> Can be red or black.
• family:String -> Can be spade, heart, club, diamond.
• icon:String -> Emoji ♠ ♥ ♣ ♦.
• uid:String -> Concat the value + the family the card belongs to.
• value:String -> Can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A.

For instance, here is the 2 of Spades :

icon: "♠"
uid: "2spade"
value: "2"

Have fun.
