Chaining JS Set methods results in TypeError
Why does
screens.reduce((acc,s) =>
acc.add(s._created_by).add(s._last_modified_by), new Set());
work as expected (the set gets two things added each iteration), whereas adding .delete("admin")
as in
screens.reduce((acc,s) =>
acc.add(s._created_by).add(s._last_modified_by).delete("admin"), new Set());
results in TypeError: acc.add is not a function
javascript set

Check the docs for Set.prototype.delete:
Return value
true
if an element in the Set object has been removed successfully; otherwisefalse
It doesn't return the Set
. So, if you want to use reduce
and delete
like that, you'll have to use two different statements, not just one chained one:
screens.reduce((acc,s) => {
acc
.add(s._created_by)
.add(s._last_modified_by)
.delete("admin");
return acc;
} , new Set());
(I suppose you could also use the comma operator to avoid having to use {
/}
blocks, but only for the sake of golfing, it would hurt code clarity)
OMG - JS still has some way to go to behave like a functional language - thanks!!!!
