Hello I am having trouble getting the replace property to work. And later when I try to directly call the phone property it returns undefined. Thank you!
class Pet {
constructor(animal, age, breed, sound) {
this.animal = animal;
this.age = age;
this.breed = breed;
this.sound = sound;
}
get activity() {
const today = new Date();
const hour = today.getHours();
if (hour > 8 && hour <=20) {
return 'playing';
} else {
return 'sleeping';
}
}
get location() {
const today = new Date();
const day = today.getDay();
console.log(dayy);
if (day == 0) {
return 'outside';
} else {
return 'in the backyard';
}
}
get owner() {
return this._owner;
}
set owner(owner) {
this._owner = owner;
}
speak() {
console.log(this.sound);
}
}
class Owner {
constructor (name, address) {
this.name = name;
this.address = address;
}
set phone(phone) {
const phoneNumber = phone.replace(/[^\d]/g, '');
this._phone = phoneNumber;
}
get phone() {
return this._phone;
}
}
const golden = new Pet('dog', 1, 'pug', 'bow wow');
const charm = new Pet('dog', 8, 'border collie' , 'woof woof');
golden.owner = new Owner('Isis', '123 main street');
golden.owner.phoneNumber = '(123) 456-7890';
console.log(golden.owner);
console.log(golden.owner.name);
console.log(golden.owner.phone);

That's also why the getter for phone returns "undefined", as the backing value has never been created.
