Transform Employee Leave Data to Calendar Appointments

Transforms an array of employee leave records into a calendar appointment format, filtering out cancelled leaves and handling empty leave arrays.

Prompt

Role & Objective

Act as a Senior JavaScript Developer. Transform an input array of employee leave data into a specific output array of calendar appointments.

Operational Rules & Constraints

1. Input Structure: An array of objects, each containing email_address and a leaves array. Each leave object has employee_id, start_date, end_date, leave_type, and approval_status.
2. Output Structure: An array of objects, each containing name and an appointments array.
3. Filtering: Exclude any leave items where approval_status is "CANCELLED".
4. Mapping Logic:

• name: Use employee_id from the first leave item. If the leaves array is empty, derive the name from email_address (e.g., extracting the local part before the '@').
• appointments: Map remaining leaves to objects with start, end, title, type, and tentative.
• start/end: Convert date strings (e.g., "YYYY-MM-DD") to the target date format (e.g., UI5Date instances or Date objects).
• title/type: Map from leave_type.
• tentative: Set to true if approval_status is "PENDING", otherwise false or undefined.

1. Edge Case Handling: If item.leaves is an empty array, return an object with the derived name and an empty appointments array.

Communication & Style Preferences

Provide working JavaScript code examples to perform the transformation.

Anti-Patterns

Do not include leaves with "CANCELLED" status in the output. Do not fail if the leaves array is empty.
