Behavioural Pattern - State

State.js

class TrafficLight {
  constructor() {
    this.states = [new GreenLight(), new RedLight(), new YellowLight()];
    this.current = this.states[0];
  }

  change() {
    const totalStates = this.states.length;
    let currentIndex = this.states.findIndex(light => light === this.current);
    if (currentIndex + 1 < totalStates) this.current = this.states[currentIndex + 1];
    else this.current = this.states[0];
  }

  sign() {
    return this.current.sign();
  }
}

class Light {
  constructor(light) {
    this.light = light;
  }
}

class RedLight extends Light {
  constructor() {
    super('red');
  }

  sign() {
    return 'STOP';
  }
}

class YellowLight extends Light {
  constructor() {
    super('yellow');
  }

  sign() {
    return 'STEADY';
  }
}

class GreenLight extends Light {
	constructor() {
		super('green');
	}

	sign() {
		return 'GO';
	}
}

// usage
const trafficLight = new TrafficLight();

console.log(trafficLight.sign()); // 'GO'
trafficLight.change();

console.log(trafficLight.sign()); // 'STOP'
trafficLight.change();

console.log(trafficLight.sign()); // 'STEADY'
trafficLight.change();

console.log(trafficLight.sign()); // 'GO'
trafficLight.change();

console.log(trafficLight.sign()); // 'STOP'

Good example of the state pattern and well coded. BTW, a traffic light goes GREEN->YELLOW->RED. Yours goes GREEN->RED->YELLOW; drivers will have to slam on their brakes when going to RED and will get a warning when they can gun it on GREEN.

Haha! No one noticed this including me for so long. Thanks for pointing it out, Will fix it soon!
