THE CHALLENGE:

Intro : Safeboda want to give out promo codes worth x amount during events so people can get free rides to and from the event. The flaw with that people can use the promo codes without going for the event. Task : Implement a promo code api with the following features.

• Generation of new promo codes for events
• The promo code is worth a specific amount of ride
• The promo code can expire
• Can be deactivated
• Return active promo codes
• Return all promo codes
• The promo code radius should be configurable
• To test the validity of the promo code, expose an endpoint that accept origin, destination, the promo code. The api should return the promo code details and a polyline using the destination and origin if promo code is valid and an error otherwise.

Please submit code as if you intended to ship it to production. The details matter. Tests are expected, as is well written, simple idiomatic code.
