This is for one of the assignments on Odin Project. As i'm testing things out, i'm realizing how this code is bad because it's not DRY. I would just be creating more and more book objects. How can I make this more clean?
let myLibrary = [];
function Book(title, author, pages, hasRead){
this.title = title;
this.author = author;
this.page = pages;
this.hasRead = hasRead;
};
function addBookToLibrary(newBook){
return myLibrary.push(newBook)
};
let newBook = new Book("Wool", "Hugh Howey", "592", false);
let lifeOfPi = new Book("Life of Pi", "Yann Martel", "392", false);
addBookToLibrary(newBook);
addBookToLibrary(lifeOfPi);
console.log(myLibrary);You could do something like this, so that you have a "BookLibrary" class.
// Make the class "BookLibrary"
var BookLibrary = function() {
this.myLibrary = [];
this.addBookToLibrary = function(title, author, page, hasRead) {
var newBook = {}; // a book new object to be stored to array
newBook.title = title;
newBook.author = author;
newBook.page = page;
newBook.hasRead = hasRead;
this.myLibrary.push( newBook ); // add to collection of books
}
}
// test demo
// instantiate the object
var books = new BookLibrary();
// add some books
books.addBookToLibrary("Wool", "Hugh Howey", "592", false);
books.addBookToLibrary("Life of Pi", "Yann Martel", "392", false);
// see if it worked
console.log( books.myLibrary );
