Starting out as a newcomer to JavaScript, I am seeking guidance on how to effectively incorporate it into my current project.
I'm tasked with creating a sophisticated financial calculator within my already existing PHP financial instrument. The goal is to display detailed calculations reactively. I am struggling with implementing complex calculations that involve numerous `if` statements within a loop and then aggregating the output values from each object in an array to return a total sum. I intend to utilize Vuejs for this task.
In essence, my `cashDividends()` function should calculate the sum of values obtained from each object in the loop.
To provide context on the issue at hand, I have included a snippet of the code below:
new Vue({
el: "#waterfall",
data() {
return {
info: {
cash_dividends: true,
converted_liabilities: true,
},
equities: [
@foreach($preferredEquities as $equity)
{ name: '{{ $equity->name }}', id: {{ $equity->id }} },
@endforeach
]
}
},
computed: {
remainingExit () {
return this.form.exit_value - this.form.uncovered_debt - this.form.transaction_fees
},
cashDividends() {
//I supposed should be something like this.
this.equities.forEach(function(equity)
{
//Here I make a lot of calculations with bunch of if statements using object and DOM input values. for each object
}
// And here I need to return sum of calculated values from each object (equity) in array
}
},
If anyone has any insights or tips to offer, I would greatly appreciate them. I am eager to grasp the overall concept behind this challenge.
