This code defines a method (getPrice
) on an object called ExternalInterface
inside the app
object. Here's a breakdown of what the code does step by step:
-
Purpose: The
getPrice
method is designed to find and return a value from a nested data object (data
) based on specifiedlength
andwidth
parameters. -
Parameters:
data
: A nested object where keys represent lengths and their corresponding values are inner objects whose keys represent widths.length
: The target length that needs to be searched or rounded up to the nearest available key in thedata
object.width
: The target width that needs to be searched or rounded up to the nearest available key in the inner object ofdata
.
-
Workflow:
- Extract all the keys of the
data
object and interpret them as numbers (usingObject.keys(data).map(Number)
). These represent available lengths. - The
lengths
array is sorted in ascending order using.sort((a, b) => a - b)
. - Find the smallest length in the
lengths
array that is greater than or equal to the inputlength
using.find(l => l >= length)
. This is thetargetLength
.- If no such length exists (i.e., all lengths are smaller than the input
length
), returnnull
.
- If no such length exists (i.e., all lengths are smaller than the input
- Extract all the keys of the
data[targetLength]
object and interpret them as numbers (these represent available widths for the matching length). - The
widths
array is sorted in ascending order using.sort((a, b) => a - b)
. - Find the smallest width in the
widths
array that is greater than or equal to the inputwidth
using.find(w => w >= width)
. This is thetargetWidth
.- If no such width exists (i.e., all widths are smaller than the input
width
), returnnull
.
- If no such width exists (i.e., all widths are smaller than the input
- Finally, if both
targetLength
andtargetWidth
are found, returndata[targetLength][targetWidth]
. This value is presumably some "price" or another value related to the givenlength
andwidth
.
- Extract all the keys of the
-
Edge Cases:
- If the
data
object is empty or doesn't contain suitable keys forlength
andwidth
, the function returnsnull
. - If the inputs (
length
orwidth
) are very large and exceed all keys indata
,null
is returned.
- If the
Example Use Case:
Suppose data
looks like this:
const data = {
10: { 20: 100, 30: 150 }, // length 10 has widths 20 and 30 with corresponding prices 100 and 150
15: { 20: 120, 40: 200 } // length 15 has widths 20 and 40 with corresponding prices 120 and 200
};
Calling app.ExternalInterface.getPrice(data, 12, 25)
would:
- Find the smallest length ≥ 12:
15
(from[10, 15]
). - Within
data[15]
, find the smallest width ≥ 25:40
(from[20, 40]
). - Return
data[15][40]
, which is200
.
If no valid length
or width
exists, it returns null
.
