Methods! They're cool!

  1. fork
  2. clone
  3. jest --watch-all

Guidelines

  • Be SURE not to use arrow functions for your methods. There are some good explanations out there of what happens when you do so, but the short of it is: your this won't be the object, but whatever the this is outside the object. That can be a great feature, as often you'll want to keep the same this when chaining arrow functions. But in objects, you almost always want this to refer to that particular object, and so you'll want to use a regular function syntax.

Hints

  1. Pay careful attention to what main.test.js says, as well as both your terminal's descriptions of each test and the differences between what jest said it Expects and Receives.
  2. Don't forget commas after your methods! They may not look like the same as before, but they're still just key-value pairs.
  3. Remember that this always refers to the particular object the method is in. So if you call person1.someMethod(), this is person1, whereas if you call person2.someMethod(), this will be person2. You'll be using this a lot here!
  4. For age, there are a couple different ways to make a parameter set to a default value in JavaScript. Find one that works for you!
  5. For setting the spouse's name in marry, remember that you've already got a method to get someone's full name. You can use it here!
  6. For divorce, look up how to remove a property from an object. You're probably not gonna just have that memorized!
