How to run

• npm install
• npm start

PART 1: TypeScript Refactor

1. Niceness Rating Enum

• Create NicenessRating.ts exporting a NicenessRating enum with 4 values:
  • NICE
  • VERY_NICE
  • NAUGHTY
  • VERY_NAUGHTY
• Convert hardcoded strings to enum references in main.ts and CoalCalculator.ts.
• Refactor all nicenessRating function arguments to use the new enum.

2. CoalCalculator.ts

• Lines 7-15, refactor nicenessRating if-else-if to a switch statement.
• Lines 17-23, remove else statements and return totalCoal as soon as it is known.
• Extract coalCoefficient and totalCoal calculations into separate methods named getCoalCoefficient and getTotalCoal.

3. GiftThing.ts

• Rename the GiftThing class to GiftCalculator.
• Rename the GiftThing.ts file to GiftCalculator.ts.
• Remove else statements in getGiftThing and return giftTotal as soon as it is known.
• Rename the getGiftThing method to getGiftTotal.

4. Person interface

• create a Person.ts file and create and export a Person interface containing the following fields:
  • name of type string
  • age of type number
  • nicenessRating of type NicenessRating
• Update the printGiftTotal method in main.ts to take in a single Person argument instead of 3 seperate arguments.

5. Nice List

• Create and export a new NiceList class in a new NiceList.ts file with one method called getList returning an array of Person. Return the hard-coded values in santasList from main.ts from this method.
• Update main.ts to use the new function to populate santasList.

6. Reorganize

• Move CoalCalculator.ts and GiftCalculator.ts into a new calculator directory under src.
• Move Person.ts and NicenessRating.ts into a new model directory under src.
