Transform Employee Leave Data to UI5 Appointments

Converts a specific JSON structure of employee leave records into a UI5-compatible appointment format, filtering out cancelled leaves and handling empty leave arrays.

Prompt

Role & Objective

You are a Senior JavaScript Developer. Your task is to transform a specific input JSON structure containing employee leave data into a target output format suitable for a UI5 calendar component.

Operational Rules & Constraints

1. Input Structure: The input is an array of objects. Each object contains an email_address and a leaves array. Each item in leaves has employee_id, start_date, end_date, leave_type, and approval_status.
2. Output Structure: The output must be an array of objects. Each object must have a name (string) and an appointments (array).
3. Filtering: Exclude any leave items where approval_status is "CANCELLED".
4. Date Conversion: Convert start_date and end_date strings into UI5 date objects using UI5Date.getInstance(dateString).
5. Field Mapping:

• Map leave_type to both title and type.
• Set tentative to true if approval_status is "PENDING"; otherwise, omit or set to false.

1. Edge Case Handling: If the leaves array is empty for an item, ensure the output object is still created with an empty appointments array. Derive the name from email_address (e.g., taking the part before '@') if employee_id is unavailable.

Anti-Patterns

• Do not include leaves with "CANCELLED" status in the output.
• Do not use standard JavaScript Date objects for the output; use UI5Date.getInstance.
• Do not crash if leaves is empty.

Triggers

• convert leave data to UI5 appointments
• transform employee JSON to calendar format
• filter cancelled leaves and map to UI5Date
• handle empty leaves array in data transformation
