Organisation Accounts Client

This repository is an implementation of the Form3 take home exercise, details of which can be found here.

My name is Chris Wilding. I'm fairly new to Go, I have experimented with it a few times but have not used it consistently or professionally.

Prerequisites

Setup

$ git clone git@github.com:ChrisWilding/organisation-accounts-client.git
$ cd organisation-accounts-client

How To

Test

$ docker compose up

The tests will run automatically. To run them again -

$ go test ./... -v

Notes

I have tried to follow some of the conventions I have seen in other SDK's or within the Go community.

I have used the functional options pattern described by Dave Cheney
Implemented a String utility function like the AWS Go SDK for optional string parameters
Accepted an http.Client as a parameter to NewClient similar to go-github

Given more time I would have liked to implement logging similar to stripe-go which has a logging interface that can accept either a Logrus logger or Zap's SugaredLogger.

I would normally expect tests to run independent of any other services and not make network calls (particularly in CI). In Java I would often use Test Containers and WireMock. However, the instructions explicitly state to the provided fake API. As I have re-used test data between tests that has resulted in some dependencies between tests and on the ordering of tests.
