Generic Report Setup
This example demonstrates a generic report generation pipeline that transforms spreadsheet-like JSON data into a plain-text output. The data, defined in `data.js` as an array of objects with headers `header1` through `header4`, represents rows of a conceptual spreadsheet. The code uses a JavaScript `filter` method to conditionally select rows where `header3` is less than 4, then maps each row through a `formatData` function, and joins the results into a string displayed in an HTML `<pre>` element. It is a minimal, hard-coded illustration of chaining data-processing steps without external libraries.
AI-generated descriptionThis is a version of Curran's car report tutorial. The 'car' elements replaced by generic spreadsheet-familiar language.
This excersize helped me apply Curran's lesson to spreadsheet tables of my own data.
The original lesson can be found here 'https://youtu.be/_8V5o2UHG0E?t=6148'
'headers' in the data.js file are meant to imply the headers of a spreadsheet that organize a column of data.
each object in data.js can be thought of as a complete 'row' of this conceptual SS table.
