A JS-only program with social-app-like functionality

Description

The app utilized 2 classes: Post and SocialMediaApp.

Post class

Post is responsible for creating instances of posts.

Posts have properties: name/author, title, date, text, comments, and likes.

Posts have methods for:

liking a post,
disliking a post,
adding a new comment,
editing the post,
editing a comment,
deleting a comment,
displaying the post.

SocialMediaApp class

SocialMediaApp initialized my social media app object.

a SM app has properties: name, posts (array)

a SM app has methods:

add new post — creates a new Post instance by calling the constructor method of the Post class, gives it a unique ID and pushes to the posts array
delete a post — removes a post by id
display all posts — calls the method responsible for displaying the post data on every post stored in the posts array

Using the app / Calling methods

! See the call-stack branch for live examples

1. Create a social app

new SocialMediaApp(); returns an instance of a social app. e.g.

const veryUniqueApp = new SocialMediaApp();

2. Create a new post

veryUniqueApp.addNewPost(obj); returns an instance of a post and adds it to the array of posts stored by the created social app object.

Its argument, obj, has the following format:

{
	className: Post,
	name: 'Some Name',
	title: 'Some Title',
	text: 'Some Text'
}

For example:

const post1 = veryUniqueApp.addNewPost({className: Post, name: 'Jill', title: 'Let me explain JS expressions', text: 'A JS expression is a piece of code that always evaluates to something, resolves in a single value...'});

3. Like and dislike a post

post1.likePost(); — like the post

post1.dislikePost(); — dislike the post

4. Edit a post

Example:

post1.updatePost({title: 'JS expressions'});

5. Manage comments

Add a new comment (examples):

post1.addNewComment({name: 'Marc', text: 'Brilliant!'});

post1.addNewComment({name: 'Jed', text: 'trololo'});

Edit a comment by its ID (IDs are automatically generated when being added to a post and can be retrieved by logging the .comments property on the post instance):

post1.updateComment({id: 1, text: 'LOL'});

Delete a comment by ID:

post1.deleteComment({id: 1});

6. Display posts

Display a single post (example):

post1.displayPost();

Display all posts (example):

veryUniqueApp.displayPosts();

7. Delete a post with all its comments
