In earlier lessons, you learned how to work with the filter() method which is used to return a new array of filtered results.
Here is an example:
const developers = [
{ name: "Alice", city: "New York", age: 30 },
{ name: "Bob", city: "San Francisco", age: 25 },
{ name: "Charlie", city: "New York", age: 35 },
{ name: "Diana", city: "Chicago", age: 28 }
];
const newYorkCityDevelopers = developers.filter(dev => dev.city === "New York");
console.log(newYorkCityDevelopers);
/*
[
{ name: "Alice", city: "New York", age: 30 },
{ name: "Charlie", city: "New York", age: 35 }
]
*/
Create a getBooksByAuthor function with two parameters - an array with book objects and a string with the author.
The function must return an array that contains the books by a particular author.
You should create a getBooksByAuthor function.
assert.isFunction(getBooksByAuthor);
Your getBooksByAuthor function should have two parameters.
assert.lengthOf(getBooksByAuthor, 2);
Your getBooksByAuthor function should return an array.
assert.isArray(getBooksByAuthor(library, ''));
Your getBooksByAuthor function should return the correct number of books for any of the authors.
const arvidKahlBooks = getBooksByAuthor(library, 'Arvid Kahl');
const robertAndSharonBook = getBooksByAuthor(library, 'Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter');
const pbdAndGDBooks = getBooksByAuthor(library, 'Patrick Bet-David and Greg Dinkin');
const pbdBook = getBooksByAuthor(library, 'Patrick Bet-David');
const johnGordon = getBooksByAuthor(library, 'Jon Gordon');
const jamesClearBook = getBooksByAuthor(library, 'James Clear');
const JDAndSDBook = getBooksByAuthor(library, 'Jeff DeGraff and Staney DeGraff');
assert.lengthOf(arvidKahlBooks, 2);
assert.lengthOf(robertAndSharonBook, 1);
assert.lengthOf(pbdAndGDBooks, 1);
assert.lengthOf(pbdBook, 1);
assert.lengthOf(johnGordon, 1);
assert.lengthOf(jamesClearBook, 1);
assert.lengthOf(JDAndSDBook, 1);
