Object Oriented Email Parser

Learning Goals

  • Practice defining a class and using an attr_accessor to create setter and getter methods
  • Use TDD to write working code

Description

You will be writing an EmailAddressParser class that gets initialized with a string of emails.

Your job is to parse those email addresses into a useful array using an instance method, parse.

I should be able to do this:

email_addresses = "john@doe.com, person@somewhere.org"
parser = EmailAddressParser.new(email_addresses)

parser.parse
# => ["john@doe.com", "person@somewhere.org"]

You should be able to initialize with a list of email addresses either separated with spaces or separated with commas. The parse method should, additionally, only return unique addresses.

Instructions

This lab is test-driven, so run the test suite to get started and use the test output to get the program working.

Hints:

  • How will you control for parsing a list of email addresses that is either comma separated or separated by a white space?
  • Use an attr_accessor to set and get the list of email addresses
