My coding dilemma involves a function:
function retrieveNames() {
var identifiers = [];
var verifyAttribute = function (array, attr, value) {
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
if (array[i][attr] === value) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
};
for (var i = 0; i < result.length; i++) {
var chosen = result[i];
if (verifyAttribute($scope.names, "name", chosen.name) && identifiers.indexOf(chosen.id) === -1 && chosen.myInfo && chosen.name !== "") {
$scope.fundNames.push({
name: chosen.name,
id: chosen.id
});
identifiers.push(chosen.id);
}
}
...
}
I am seeking guidance on how to write a test that ensures I am correctly using the verifyAttribute function to eliminate duplicates based on both name and id. Despite attempting to use spyOn, I encountered errors.
I aim for a test scenario structured like this:
it('should validate the name and id to avoid duplicates', function() {
//implement your solution here
});
