- Install [leiningen] (https://leiningen.org/)
You can build the project with lein uberjar. The jar file will be generated under
the subdirectory target/uberjar/
You should provide the names of two characters, e.g.:
$ java -jar target/uberjar/superheroes-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar Thor Joker
{:name Thor, :score 9.2, :type hero}
Alternatively you can just run it with leiningen:
$ lein run Batman Gamora
{:name Gamora, :score 8.4, :type hero}
$ lein run Batman Joker
{:name Joker, :score 8.2, :type villain}
Superheroes and supervillains are always battling it out, but how do we know who wins? This repo contains an API that gives us that answer. The API contains a /battle endpoint which takes a hero and a villain and returns the character that wins.
The characters and their stats are stored in a json file stored in AWS S3 - https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/build-circle/characters.json
Our BattleController pulls the json file from S3 and works out the winner by comparing the scores from the json.
Have a look in the /src endpoint. How would you make this better? Currently we only have the functions for some of the business logic. We should implement a REST API that exposes an /battle endpoint. (See acceptence tests below)
How would you improve the tests in ./test/superheroes ?
Some superheroes are particularly weak against certain supervillains. If a hero has a villain specifed in their weakness field then they have 1 point knocked off their score when fighting that villain. This can affect the outcome of the battle.
Change the /battle endpoint to support this functionality.
Superheroes can obviously only fight supervillains and vice versa. Add some validation to make sure that this requirement is met and that the opposite is not possible.
Run the application.
