8,241 PointsI need someone to review my solution to creating an owner for the pet.
So instead of creating a new Owner class, I just created the owner object inside the Pet class. I think this is a better solution, but I need someone who is more experienced than me to tell me if it is actually a better solution or not and is that good/bad practice. This is my code :
class Pet {
constructor(animal, age, breed, sound, ownerName, ownerAdress) {
this.animal = animal;
this.age = age;
this.breed = breed;
this.sound = sound;
this.owner = {
ownerName,
ownerAdress
}
}
get activity() {
const today = new Date();
const hour = today.getHours();
if (hour > 8 && hour <= 20) {
return 'playing';
} else {
return 'sleeping';
}
}
set ownerPhone(phone) {
const phoneNormalized = phone.replace(/[^0-9]/g, '');
this._phone = phoneNormalized;
}
get ownerPhone() {
this._phone;
}
speak() {
console.log(this.sound);
}
}
const ernie = new Pet('dog', 1, 'pug', 'yip yip', 'Ashley', '123 Main Adress');
const vera = new Pet('dog', 8, 'border collie', 'woof woof');
ernie.ownerPhone = '(555) 555-555';
console.log(ernie.ownerName);
console.log(ernie.ownerPhone);

Also, with this scheme, a pet must have an owner when it is created, but with the original structure the pet can be created before it has an owner, and the owner can easily be added or changed later.
