This code defines a function that checks if a user input contains the word "attachments" and logs the entire input if it does, suggesting a basic command interpretation system.

Run example

npm run import -- "How code should look"

How code should look

$.interpret = (statement) => {
    if (statement.indexOf('attachments') > -1) {
        console.log(statement);
    }
};
$.interpret('attachments from michelle@thesosmethod.com last 7 days');
$.interpret('save attachments to sosmethod assets');
$.interpret('save sosmethod.org #kinder img to sosmethod assets');
$.interpret('save sosmethod.org .w-gallery img to sosmethod assets');

What the code could have been:

/**
 * Interpret a given statement and perform the corresponding action.
 * 
 * @param {string} statement - The statement to be interpreted.
 * @returns {void}
 */
$.interpret = (statement) => {
    // Define possible actions and their corresponding keywords
    const actions = {
        saveAttachments: ['attachments','save attachments'],
        downloadMedia: [/#(\w+)|\.(\w+)-gallery/]
    };

    // Check if the statement contains the 'attachments' keyword
    if (statement.toLowerCase().includes('attachments')) {
        // Extract attachment details (e.g., sender, time range)
        const attachmentDetails = statement.match(/(\w+@\w+\.\w+)?\s?(last\s?\d+) days?/);
        if (attachmentDetails) {
            // Log the statement with attachment details
            console.log(`Attachment statement: ${statement}`);
        } else {
            // Log the statement without attachment details
            console.log(`Attachment statement: ${statement} (no time range specified)`);
        }
    }

    // Check if the statement contains keywords for saving media
    else if (Object.values(actions.downloadMedia).some((pattern) => statement.match(pattern))) {
        // Extract download details (e.g., URL, target directory)
        const downloadDetails = statement.match(/(https?:\/\/\S+)|(save to \S+)/);
        if (downloadDetails) {
            // Log the statement with download details
            console.log(`Download statement: ${statement}`);
        } else {
            // Log the statement without download details
            console.log(`Download statement: ${statement} (no download location specified)`);
        }
    }

    // If no match found, log the message
    else {
        console.log(`Unknown statement: ${statement}`);
    }
};

// Test the function with sample statements
$.interpret('attachments from michelle@thesosmethod.com last 7 days');
$.interpret('save attachments to sosmethod assets');
$.interpret('save sosmethod.org #kinder img to sosmethod assets');
$.interpret('save sosmethod.org.w-gallery img to sosmethod assets');
