Challenge 1: Profile Activation

A company's website has many user profiles. These profiles can either be active (i.e., they can use the website) or inactive. A profile can be set to inactive for a variety of reasons, and the company wants to have the reasons recorded for analytical purposes. If an inactive profile is set back to active, the reason for the inactivity is no longer needed and can be removed.

Objective

Implement the profileActivation function to manage the activation status of user profiles on a company's website. This function will toggle a profile's active status and handle reasons for inactivity.

Function

function profileActivation(profile, reason)

Parameters

• profile: An object representing a user profile.
• reason (optional): A string describing the reason for inactivity.

Profile Object Structure

{
  active: boolean, // true for active, false for inactive
  reason: string   // description of inactivity reason, if any
}

The profile is considered active if the active prop is true and inactive if the active prop is false. If the active prop is false, a reason prop must be present (i.e., not undefined)

Requirements

1. If the input profile is active, set it to inactive and assign the provided reason to the profile. The updated profile should be returned.
2. If the input profile is inactive, set it to active and remove the reason property from the profile. The updated profile should be returned.
3. If a profile passed in is active and no reason is provided, return "confirm status manually" and do not modify the profile.

Examples and Expected Outputs

Example 1: Activating a Profile

let testProfile = {
  active: false,
  reason: "Not logged in for 30 days"
};

let result = profileActivation(testProfile);
console.log(result); 

Expected Output

{ active: true }

Example 2: Deactivating a Profile

let testProfile = {
  active: true,
  reason: undefined
};

let result = profileActivation(testProfile, "Not logged in for 30 days");
console.log(result);

Expected Output

{ active: false, reason: "Not logged in for 30 days"}

Example 3: Missing Reason on Active Profile

let testProfile = {
  active: true,
  reason: undefined
};

let result = profileActivation(testProfile);
console.log(result); 

Expected Output

"confirm status manually"
