Chaining JS Set methods results in TypeError












0















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

          Check the docs for Set.prototype.delete:




          Return value



          true if an element in the Set object has been removed successfully; otherwise false




          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)
