Write a JavaScript class MailBox to hold a list of mail messages (subject + text):
class MailBox { // TODO: implement this class }
Each mail message holds subject and text. Implement the following features:
- Constructor – creates an empty mail box.
- Method addMessage(subject, text) – adds a mail message to the mail box. Both subject and text are strings. Returns the mailbox itself to allow chaining.
- Accessor property messageCount – returns the total number of messages in the mail box.
- Method deleteAllMessages() – clears the mail box (deletes all messages).
- Method findBySubject(substr) – returns all mail messages from the mail box that hold the specified substr string in their subject. Order the results by their order of adding to the mail box. Return the results as array of objects {subject, text}. If no messages are matched, return an empty array.
- Method toString() – returns the text representation of the mail box in the following format:
- Empty mail box:
* (empty mailbox)
- Non-empty mail box:
* [subject1] Text1 * [subject2] Text2 * [subject3] Text3 …
Examples:
This is an example how the MailBox class is intended to be used:
Sample Code Usage:
let mb = new MailBox(); console.log("Msg count: " + mb.messageCount); console.log('Messages:\n' + mb); mb.addMessage("meeting", "Let's meet at 17/11"); mb.addMessage("beer", "Wanna drink beer tomorrow?"); mb.addMessage("question", "How to solve this problem?"); mb.addMessage("Sofia next week", "I am in Sofia next week."); console.log("Msg count: " + mb.messageCount); console.log('Messages:\n' + mb); console.log("Messages holding 'rakiya': " + JSON.stringify(mb.findBySubject('rakiya'))); console.log("Messages holding 'ee': " + JSON.stringify(mb.findBySubject('ee'))); mb.deleteAllMessages(); console.log("Msg count: " + mb.messageCount); console.log('Messages:\n' + mb); console.log("New mailbox:\n" + new MailBox() .addMessage("Subj 1", "Msg 1") .addMessage("Subj 2", "Msg 2") .addMessage("Subj 3", "Msg 3") .toString());
Corresponding output:
Msg count: 0 Messages: * (empty mailbox) Msg count: 4 Messages: * [meeting] Let's meet at 17/11 * [beer] Wanna drink beer tomorrow? * [question] How to solve this problem? * [Sofia next week] I am in Sofia next week. Messages holding 'rakiya': [] Messages holding 'ee': [{"subject":"meeting","text":"Let's meet at 17/11"},{"subject":"beer","text":"Wanna drink beer tomorrow?"},{"subject":"Sofia next week","text":"I am in Sofia next week."}] Msg count: 0 Messages: * (empty mailbox) New mailbox: * [Subj 1] Msg 1 * [Subj 2] Msg 2 * [Subj 3] Msg 3

Here is the solution:
class MailBox { constructor() { this.messages = []; } addMessage(subject, text) { this.messages.push({subject, text}); return this; } get messageCount() { return this.messages.length; } deleteAllMessages() { this.messages = []; } findBySubject(substr) { return this.messages.filter( m => m.subject.includes(substr)); } toString() { let msgStr = this.messages.map(m => ' * [' + m.subject + '] ' + m.text) .join("\n"); if (this.messages.length == 0) msgStr = ' * (empty mailbox)'; return msgStr; } } /* let mb = new MailBox(); console.log("Msg count: " + mb.messageCount); console.log('Messages:\n' + mb); mb.addMessage("meeting", "Let's meet at 17/11"); mb.addMessage("beer", "Wanna drink beer tomorrow?"); mb.addMessage("question", "How to solve this problem?"); mb.addMessage("Sofia next week", "I am in Sofia next week."); console.log("Msg count: " + mb.messageCount); console.log('Messages:\n' + mb); console.log("Messages holding 'rakiya': " + JSON.stringify(mb.findBySubject('rakiya'))); console.log("Messages holding 'ee': " + JSON.stringify(mb.findBySubject('ee'))); mb.deleteAllMessages(); console.log("Msg count: " + mb.messageCount); console.log('Messages:\n' + mb); console.log("New mailbox:\n" + new MailBox() .addMessage("Subj 1", "Msg 1") .addMessage("Subj 2", "Msg 2") .addMessage("Subj 3", "Msg 3") .toString()); */
