Dev Advent Calendar 🎅 Puzzle 8 - Secret Santa 🤫

The elves are organizing a pre-Christmas party, and they want to organize a "secret santa".

It is your job to write an algorithm that selects a secret santa for each participant.

_The concept of "secret santa" is the following: Each participant is assigned a so-called "secret santa", a person that will have to get a thoughtful gift for that person. Usually this is in-person: All names are thrown in a hat, and each participant draws one. The paper you draw it the person you have to give a gift to. _

🧩 The puzzle

Find the names of the elves in src/data/elves.js.

Complete the function assignNames in the file src/utils/secret.js so that it returns an array of objects with name and secretSanta. The passed parameter names is an array of names (as String)

Example:

;[
    { name: 'Jimmy', secretSanta: 'Johnny' },
    { name: 'Johnny', secretSanta: 'Sandra' },
    { name: 'Sandra', secretSanta: 'Jimmy' },
]

Rules

• There should be a secret santa for everyone
• The secret santa should not be the same as the name
• When there are duplicate names, throw a Error('DUPLICATE_NAMES')
