AlgoDaily - Implement JSON.stringify

One Pager Cheat Sheet

You can create a simplified version of the JSON.stringify() method to correctly handle different data types and values in order to successfully "translate" them into JSON strings.
We bold implemented a stringify method that handles different data types, such as functions, strings, numbers, booleans, dates, arrays, and objects, returning the corresponding strings or null as needed.

This is our final solution.

function stringify(data) {
    if (typeof data === "string") {
        return `"${data}"`;
    }
    if (typeof data === "function") {
        return undefined;
    }
    if (data === Infinity || data === -Infinity || data === null
        || data === undefined || typeof data === "symbol") {
        return "null";
    }
    if (typeof data === "number" || typeof data === "boolean") {
        return `${data}`;
    }
​
    if (data instanceof Date) {
        return `"${data.toISOString()}"`;
    }
    if (Array.isArray(data)) {
        const arr = data.map((el) => stringify(el));
        return `[${arr.join(",")}]`;
    }
    if (typeof data === "object") {
        const arr = Object.entries(data).reduce((acc, [key, value]) => {
            if (value === undefined) {
                return acc;
            }
            acc.push(`"${key}":${stringify(value)}`);
            return acc;
        }, []);
        return `{${arr.join(",")}}`;
    }
