- We'll walk through the process using OOP to create a program to manage a person's book collection
-
Create a class
BookList
-
Create another class called
Book
-
BookLists should have the following properties:
- Number of books marked as read
- Number of books marked not read yet
- A reference to the next book to read (book object)
- A reference to the current book being read (book object)
- A reference to the last book read (book object)
- An array of all the Books
-
Each Book should have several properties:
- Title
- Genre
- Author
- Read (true or false)
- Read date, can be blank, otherwise needs to be a JS Date() object
-
Every Booklist should have a few methods:
- .add(book)
- should add a book to the books list.
- .finishCurrentBook()
- should mark the book that is currently being read as "read"
- Give it a read date of new Date()
- Change the last book read to be the book that just got finished
- Change the current book to be the next book to be read
- Change the next book to be read property to be the first unread book you find in the list of books
- .add(book)
-
Booklists and Books might need more methods than that. Try to think of more that might be useful.
