Objectively Funcy

Introduction

Functions and objects together? Is this the endtimes?

What we're doing today is writing functions that can manipulate the object passed in. We'll be using mutation, which is, again, bad practice. But we'll learn good practice soon enough, and it's pretty important that we understand JavaScript's abilities so that we understand which to use, when, and why. When we have a bug because we mutated an object passed in, we won't be able to find it without understanding mutation!

For now: mutate away!

Setup

• Fork.
• Clone.
• jest --watch-all

Tasks

• getFirstName - returns the value of the firstName property of the given person object
  • getFirstName({firstName: 'Colin', lastName: 'Jaffe'}) // -> 'Colin'
  • getFirstName({firstName: 'Petra', lastName: 'Solano'}) // -> 'Petra'
• getLastName - returns the value of the lastName property of the given person object
  • getLastName({firstName: 'Colin', lastName: 'Jaffe'}) // -> 'Jaffe'
  • getLastName({firstName: 'Petra', lastName: 'Solano'}) // -> 'Petra'
• getFullName - returns the value of the firstName property plus the lastName property with a space in the middle for the given person object
  • getFullName({firstName: 'Colin', lastName: 'Jaffe'}) // -> 'Jaffe'
  • getFullName({firstName: 'Petra', lastName: 'Solano'}) // -> 'Petra'
• setFirstName - changes the value of the firstName property of the given person object to the given value
  • setFirstName({firstName: 'Colin', lastName: 'Jaffe'}, 'Redacted') // -> {firstName: 'Redacted', lastName: 'Jaffe'}
  • setFirstName({firstName: 'Petra', lastName: 'Solano'}, 'Anthony') // -> {firstName: 'Anthony', lastName: 'Solano'}
• setAge - changes the value of the age property of the given person object to the given value
  • setAge({firstName: 'Colin', lastName: 'Jaffe', age: 39}, 45) // -> {firstName: 'Colin', lastName: 'Jaffe', age: 45}
  • setAge({firstName: 'Petra', lastName: 'Solano', age: 29}, 35) // -> {firstName: 'Petra', lastName: 'Solano', age: 35}
• giveBirthday - increments by 1 the age property of the given person object, or gives them an age of 1 if they don't have that property
  • giveBirthday({firstName: 'Colin', lastName: 'Jaffe', age: 39}) // -> {firstName: 'Colin', lastName: 'Jaffe', age: 40}
  • giveBirthday({firstName: 'Petra', lastName: 'Solano', age: 29}) // -> {firstName: 'Solano', lastName: 'Solano', age: 30}
  • giveBirthday({firstName: 'Baby', lastName: 'Jaffe'}) // -> {firstName: 'Baby', lastName: 'Jaffe', age: 1}
• marry - sets the marital status of both given people to true and sets each person's spouseName property to be the full name of the other

const person1 = {firstName: 'Colin', lastName: 'Jaffe', married: false}
const person2 = {firstName: 'Petra', lastName: 'Solano', married: false}
marry(person1, person2)
console.log(person1) // -> {firstName: 'Colin', lastName: 'Jaffe', married: true, spouseName: 'Petra Solano'}
console.log(person2) // -> {firstName: 'Petra', lastName: 'Solano', married: true, spouseName: 'Colin Jaffe'}

• divorce - changes the marital status to false and removes the spouseName property from both given people

const person1 = {firstName: 'Colin', lastName: 'Jaffe', married: true, spouseName: 'Petra Solano'}
const person2 = {firstName: 'Petra', lastName: 'Solano', married: true, spouseName: 'Colin Jaffe'}
divorce(person1, person2);
console.log(person1) // -> {firstName: 'Colin', lastName: 'Jaffe', married: false} 
console.log(person2) // -> {firstName: 'Petra', lastName: 'Solano', married: false}

Tips

• For getFullName, don't set a fullName property on the given object. Just give the caller of the function back a new value based on the first name and last name. (You were probably going to do it that way anyway!)
• For giveBirthday, you'll need to have some way to tell if the key age is already in the given person. Do a little research!
• For marry, you can re-use your getFullName function in order to get each person's spouseName. Just pass in the person whose fullName you want, and you'll get back your new spouseName property.
• Same as above for divorce; you'll need to research a way to REMOVE the key spouseName from the given people. Simply setting the properties to undefined or null won't be sufficient; they need to be as if they were never there. (Creepy!)
