choose-your-bed

A lightweight JavaScript utility for programmatically generating "choose your bed" scenarios based on defined criteria. Useful for dynamic content generation and decision-making simulations.

Installation

bash npm install choose-your-bed

Usage Examples

Here are a few examples demonstrating how to use choose-your-bed in different scenarios:

1. Basic Bed Selection based on Comfort Level: javascript const { chooseBed } = require('choose-your-bed');

const beds = [ { name: 'Firm Mattress', comfort: 3 }, { name: 'Memory Foam', comfort: 8 }, { name: 'Waterbed', comfort: 6 }, { name: 'Hammock', comfort: 5 }, ];

const preferredComfort = 7;

const chosenBed = chooseBed(beds, { preference: 'comfort', targetValue: preferredComfort });

console.log(Based on your comfort preference of ${preferredComfort}, we recommend: ${chosenBed.name}); // Expected output (may vary slightly due to algorithm): Based on your comfort preference of 7, we recommend: Memory Foam

2. Bed Selection with Custom Weighting: javascript const { chooseBed } = require('choose-your-bed');

const beds = [ { name: 'Spring Mattress', comfort: 4, price: 500 }, { name: 'Latex Mattress', comfort: 7, price: 800 }, { name: 'Adjustable Bed', comfort: 9, price: 1200 }, ];

const weights = { comfort: 0.7, // Comfort is more important price: 0.3, // Price is less important };

const chosenBed = chooseBed(beds, { weights });

console.log(Our top pick based on weighted factors is: ${chosenBed.name}); // Expected output (may vary slightly due to algorithm): Our top pick based on weighted factors is: Latex Mattress

3. Bed Selection with Multiple Criteria and Custom Comparison Function: javascript const { chooseBed } = require('choose-your-bed');

const beds = [ { name: 'King Size', comfort: 8, size: 10, noiseLevel: 2 }, { name: 'Queen Size', comfort: 7, size: 8, noiseLevel: 3 }, { name: 'Twin XL', comfort: 6, size: 6, noiseLevel: 1 }, ];

const criteria = [ { preference: 'comfort', targetValue: 7 }, { preference: 'size', targetValue: 8 }, { preference: 'noiseLevel', targetValue: 2, comparison: (a, b) => Math.abs(a - b) }, // Minimize noise difference ];

const chosenBed = chooseBed(beds, criteria);

console.log(The best bed for your needs is: ${chosenBed.name}); // Expected output (may vary slightly due to algorithm): The best bed for your needs is: Queen Size

4. Handling Empty Bed Arrays: javascript const { chooseBed } = require('choose-your-bed');

const beds = [];

const chosenBed = chooseBed(beds, { preference: 'comfort', targetValue: 5 });

if (chosenBed) { console.log(We recommend: ${chosenBed.name}); } else { console.log("No beds were provided to choose from."); } // Expected output: No beds were provided to choose from.

5. Using a Custom Scoring Function: javascript const { chooseBed } = require('choose-your-bed');

const beds = [ { name: 'Bed A', feature1: 5, feature2: 3 }, { name: 'Bed B', feature1: 2, feature2: 7 }, { name: 'Bed C', feature1: 8, feature2: 1 }, ];

const scoringFunction = (bed) => bed.feature1 + bed.feature2;

const chosenBed = chooseBed(beds, { scoringFunction });

console.log(The best bed based on the scoring function is: ${chosenBed.name}); //Expected output (may vary slightly due to algorithm): The best bed based on the scoring function is: Bed C

API Summary

chooseBed(beds, options)

• beds: An array of objects, where each object represents a bed and its properties.
• options: An object containing configuration options for the bed selection process. Can include:
  • preference: (Optional) The name of a property to use as the primary comparison criteria.
  • targetValue: (Optional) The desired value for the preference property.
  • weights: (Optional) An object specifying the weights for each property (e.g., { comfort: 0.8, price: 0.2 }). Higher weight means higher importance.
  • criteria: (Optional) An array of objects, where each object defines a comparison criterion with preference, targetValue, and an optional comparison function.
  • scoringFunction: (Optional) A function that takes a bed object as input and returns a numerical score. The bed with the highest score will be chosen.
  • comparison: (Optional) A custom comparison function (a, b) used for comparing values. If not provided, a simple difference (a - b) is used.

Returns:

• The object representing the chosen bed.
• undefined if the beds array is empty.
