Code Along: OOP Book Collection

• We'll walk through the process using OOP to create a program to manage a person's book collection

Requirements

• Create a class BookList

• Create another class called Book

• BookLists should have the following properties:

  • Number of books marked as read
  • Number of books marked not read yet
  • A reference to the next book to read (book object)
  • A reference to the current book being read (book object)
  • A reference to the last book read (book object)
  • An array of all the Books

• Each Book should have several properties:

  • Title
  • Genre
  • Author
  • Read (true or false)
  • Read date, can be blank, otherwise needs to be a JS Date() object

• Every Booklist should have a few methods:

  • .add(book)
    • should add a book to the books list.
  • .finishCurrentBook()
    • should mark the book that is currently being read as "read"
    • Give it a read date of new Date()
    • Change the last book read to be the book that just got finished
    • Change the current book to be the next book to be read
    • Change the next book to be read property to be the first unread book you find in the list of books

• Booklists and Books might need more methods than that. Try to think of more that might be useful.
