Star Trek challenge

My task was to translate a name written in English to Klingon and find out its species using ​http://stapi.co​.

This code was developed using go1.11.1 windows/amd64

I followed the instructions and started looking forward the main API's to complete this task.

As I started studion the stapi documentation I noticed that in order to get the Star Trek character specie I would need to check two different routes.

First route:

(POST) /v1/rest/character/search

In the above route I would get some generic information about the character, but I won't get the character specie.

To do so, I would need to check the route:

(GET) /v1/rest/character/?uid=%s

Where %s will be the first route response for UID (could be a list).

For this project I split the project in a few packages.

main

• Where the main project is executed

structures

• Where the Json parser structures are placed in.

util

• Where the converters and string maps are.

stapi

• Where the call to STAPI are made .

I also made the Unit test. Which one are named *_test.go

How to run the project:

1. Make sure that Golang is installed =)

2. In the root folder type the following command: go run main.go Uhura

There is a build folder where you can use the application without installing the Golang, but I recommend to use the script above!

Output example:

$ go run main.go Uhura

0xF8E5, 0x​F8D6, ​​​0xF8E5, ​​0xF8E1, 0xF8D0
