Project - Local Library

This application displays all the relevant stats on a local library. The stats include the count of books in genres, stats on authors, and stats on specific books.

Context for Project

The purpose of this project was for me to demonstrate my understanding of the different array methods of JavaScript, such as find, filter, reduce, sort, map, some, and every. I only wrote the JavaScript for this project, and nothing else.

Technologies Used

• JavaScript

Features

Below I will discuss the functionality I added with the JavaScript to each page in this project:

1. Overall Stats
2. Stats by Book
3. Stats by Author

Overall Stats

In this page, I mainly used a filter array methods to find then count the array of all books that match a certain criteria, such as being borrowed or a certain genre. Back to Features

Stats by Book

Here, I used a find array method to find the book object that matches a selected title, then used filter to find all the borrowers that borrowed the book Back to Features

Stats by Author

The JavaScript for this page uses the sort array method to sort authors by last name. The JavaScript also uses filter to find all borrows from the author and a find to find the account currently borrowing the book. Back to Features

Learnings from this Project

This project solidified my understanding of JavaScript and how to access complicated data that includes objects within objects within objects.

project-local-library's Issues

Change reduce array methods to map

Some reduce array methods are improperly used where a map array method would be better.
