How to run and test?

As previous Rock, Paper, or Scissors task it uses yarn and jest testing framework so the process is the same:

1. git clone the repo.
2. Create new branch with your name and checkout.
3. Run yarn.
4. To run tests: run yarn test or yarn watch depending on your preference.

Meal Maker

As a frequent diner, you love trying out new restaurants and experimenting with different foods. However, having to figure out what you want to order can be a time-consuming ordeal if the menu is big, and you want an easier way to be able to figure out what you are going to eat.

In this project, you should use JavaScript objects and iterators to randomly create a three-course meal based on what is available on a menu. We’ll keep running it until we’re satisfied with the generated meal!

1. Add a _courses property to the menu object (in menu.js) and set its value to an empty object. This property will ultimately contain a mapping between each course and the dishes available to order in that course.

2. Create three properties inside the _courses object called appetizers, mains, and desserts. Each one of these should initialize to an empty array.

3. Inside your menu object, create a getter method for the _courses property. It should return an object that contains key/value pairs for appetizers, mains, and desserts.

4. Inside the menu object, we are going to create a method called .addDishToCourse() which will be used to add a new dish to the specified course on the menu.

   The method should take in three parameters: the courseName, the dishName, and the dishPrice.

5. The .addDishToCourse() method should create an object called dish which has a name and price which it gets from the parameters.

   The method should then push this dish object into the appropriate array in your menu‘s _courses object based on what courseName was passed in.

6. Now, we’re going to need another function which will allow us to get a random dish from a course on the menu, which will be necessary for generating a random meal.

   Create a method inside the menu object called .getRandomDishFromCourse(). It will take in one parameter which is the courseName. As you may already assumed:

   1. It should get all dishes from appropriate courseName inside _courses property
   2. Randomly pick one of them
   3. Return it.

7. Now that we have a way to get a random dish from a course, we can create a .generateRandomMeal() function which will automatically generate a three-course meal for us. The function doesn’t need to take any parameters.

   1. The function should create an appetizer variable which should be the result of calling the .getRandomDishFromCourse() method when we pass in an appetizers string to it.
   2. Create a main variable and dessert variable the same way you created the appetizer variable, but make sure to pass in the right course type.
   3. Calculates the total price and returns a string that contains the name of each of the dishes and the total price of the meal, formatted the following way:

     {
       dishes: ["APPETIZER_NAME", "MAIN_NAME", "DESSERT_NAME"],
       total: "$TOTAL_PRICE"
     }
   

8. Now that we’ve finished our menu, object, let’s use it to create a menu by adding some appetizers, mains, and desserts with the .addDishToCourse() function.

   Inside index.js add at least 3 dishes to each course (or more if you like!).

9. Once your menu has items inside it, generate a meal by using the .generateRandomMeal() function on your menu, and save it to a variable called meal. Lastly, print out your meal variable to see what meal was generated for you. You can do so by running node index.js in the terminal.
