There are many things I would do differently given more time. First, I didn't really have time to write good tests. I would add in unit tests for each function. I would take advantage of the Message interface to mock out responses from the email providers. I included one very basic example of how I might structure a test, but it's not complete in that it doesn't test all functionality.
I would also:
-
add auth to the endpoint, as well as encrypt the api_key vs having it in plain text in the settings file.
-
use the from and to names
-
add more validation to the html being passed in.
-
implement a second email provider (it looks like Mandrill is no longer free; Mailchip would not allow me to create an api key with my free account).
-
genericize the NewRequest function.
-
Install go (this may vary by package manager) ex.
brew install go -
Create go workspace
mkdir ~/gocd ~/go && mkdir srccd ~/go/src && mkdir github.com
-
Clone into go path
cd ~/go/src/github.com && git clone [email protected]:hlhendy/emails.git -
Add API Key to settings.json file
-
Start server
cd ~/go/src/github.com/emails && go build && ./emails -
Curl
curl -XPOST localhost:8080/email -d '{"to":"<to>", "from":"<from>", "to_name":"<to-name>", "from_name":"<from-name>", "subject":"It's a test subject!", "body":"<body>"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"
- Run Tests
cd ~/go/emails && go test ./...
