Classes are particularly useful when you need to validate data. In the case of this Box class, it shouldn’t be possible to keep embiggening past the maximum allowed by the sliders, but that’s exactly what happens.
We can fix that by replacing width and height with getters and setters, otherwise known as accessors. First, convert them to private properties:
App
class Box {
#width = $state(0);
#height = $state(0);
area = $derived(this.#width * this.#height);
constructor(width, height) {
this.#width = width;
this.#height = height;
}
// ...
}Then, create some getters and setters:
App
class Box {
// ...
get width() {
return this.#width;
}
get height() {
return this.#height;
}
set width(value) {
this.#width = value;
}
set height(value) {
this.#height = value;
}
embiggen(amount) {
this.width += amount;
this.height += amount;
}
}Finally, add the validation to the setters:
App
set width(value) {
this.#width = Math.max(0, Math.min(MAX_SIZE, value));
}
set height(value) {
this.#height = Math.max(0, Math.min(MAX_SIZE, value));
}It’s now impossible to increase the box size past safe limits, whether through the bind:value on the range inputs, or the embiggen method, no matter how hard you press the button.
