Deck of Cards

(non-redux version)

General Explanation

This is a non-redux version of the 'Deck of Cards' assignment. It has been assumed that this code will be a foundational part for a new product (most likely involving at least some persistence layer and frontent later). In order to achieve this, the following measures were taken:

The code is organized in the form of an Express application, which will later facilitate adding middleware layers and creating API endpoints for the client side.
The app uses mocha/chai for unit testing. All new code is covered with unit tests to ensure code quality.
JavaScript Standard Style is ensured by using 'standard' library as a linter.

Using specific libraries

lodash

_.times() and _.map() are used.

webpack

Webpack ver. 3.3.0 is used to:

assemble backend bundle to be server as a Node app:

webpack

run webpack-dev-server:

npm run webpack

Running the app

main app.js in console

With babel presets declared in .babelrc, run babel-node from the root of the app:

babel-node server/src/app.js

Express app

To run the app as a server:

webpack
npm run start

The deck of cards in the form of shuffled array of 52 Card objects will be available at localhost:7000
