This code is a project I completed for an interview practice assignment. A friend of mine had used it for their own interview preparation. My initial intention was to use it as a way to test myself for a potential GO-related job application. However, upon working through the exercise, I discovered that my interest in GO was not as strong as I had previously thought, so I ultimately decided not to apply. Regardless, the project was an enjoyable learning experience and I had fun working with GO.
Requirement is detailed here: https://github.com/form3tech-oss/interview-accountapi
Clone repository, then run docker-compose build and after run docker-compose up. By default, all tests will run.
I have tried to build the project in such a way that can be extensible for the future.
I have a base client, that contains common functionality(Form3BaseClient), and then an account client(Form3AccountClient) that uses the base client. The idea is that if in the future we would like to implement a client also for Payment API, or Reports API we can do this quite easily, by implementing a separate client that "extends" the base client.
I also thought that would be nice to use the Builder pattern, since those clients tend to have lots of parameters, and using a builder makes code much more readable.
Ps. Added some examples in examples/examples.go and small documentation in docs/README.md
For the future, if we would really want to lunch this to the public I would add:
- Update models to contain all API fields
- Authentication
- Retry mechanism. (General one/Per endpoint)
- Timeout support per endpoint
- Better error handling
- Better documentation
