This is a BookDonation application and I am trying to test my code using Chai I don't Know how to do it and if I run it it gives me error.


getBook(bookName) : Returns the book object if it exists, otherwise null

getBooksWIthPageCountMoreThanX(pageCount) : Returns all the books that have a pageCount more than the given pageCount. Eg. If the user calls the function with pageCount=1000. It should return all the books that have pagecount >1000

getAuthorBooks(author) : Returns all the books authored by that specific author. Note: some books have more than one author. You should consider those too and return them as well.

getAuthorsBookCount() : Returns a map that contains author name and a count of books their authored .


BooksRepo class

class BooksRepo {
    constructor() {
        this.fse = require('fs-extra');
        this.catalogFilePath = '../data/catalog.books.json';
    }


    async readFileAsync(filePath) {
        let data = await this.fse.readFile(filePath);
        let parsedData = await JSON.parse(data);
        return parsedData;
    }



    async getBook(bookName) {
        let books = await this.readFileAsync(this.catalogFilePath);
        let book = books.find(b => b.title == bookName);
        return book;
    }

    async getBooksWIthPageCountMoreThanX(pagecount){
        let books = await this.readFileAsync(this.catalogFilePath);
        let book = books.find(b => b.pageCount > pagecount);
        return book;
    }

    async getAuthorBooks(author){
        let books = await this.readFileAsync(this.catalogFilePath);
        let book = books.find(b => b.authors.contains(author));
        return book;
    }
    async getAuthorsBookCount(){

        let authArray = [];
        let authCountArray = [];

        for (let i = 0; i < inputJson.length; i++) {
            authArray = inputJson[i].authors;
            for (let j = 0; j < authArray.length; j++) {
                authCountArray[authArray[j]] = ((authCountArray[authArray[j]] === undefined) ? 0 : authCountArray[authArray[j]]) + 1;
            }
        }

            return authCountArray[authName];


    }



    async getBooksbyCatagory(category){

        let books = await this.readFileAsync(this.catalogFilePath);
        let book = books.find(b => b.categories == category);
        return book;

    }
