Anyone know how to define classes with attributes via Pug?

If you're a programmer that's dealt with Node and JavaScript, you should know what the hell I'm mentioning. I think after watching some tutorial videos, I kind of get how to define classes and create attributes, but how do I code it so specific attributes are linked to the specific classes? I'm also unsure which pug files to write this code in. I've already created a new Express app with Pug templates in Visual Studio, so do take that assumption in consideration.

I know Javascript. I just looked up Pug. I don't think Pug has much to do with writing a Javascript class. Pug is a template language for generating HTML content from Javascript.

Then I'm screwed cause I have an assignment due by Sunday midnight worth 10% of my total grade

Can you post the assignment?

1. Create new Express app with Pug templates
2. Define Course class that has attributes for id, name, department, and description
3. Define CompletedCourse class that extends Course and includes attribute for grade
achieved
4. Define OngoingCourse class that extends Course and includes attribute for number
of remaining seats until full
5. Define Student class that has attributes for id, name, department, semester, courses
enrolled in, and courses completed
6. Create list of Student and OngoingCourse objects
7. Create route to get all Students
8. Create route to get all OngoingCourses
9. Create get route that uses url parameter to get student id. Display student detail and
average grade calculated with a function
10. Create get and post route and form that allows submitting OngoingCourse id, name,
department, and if course is open to filter courses
11. Create get and post route and form that allows submitting Student id, name,
department, enrolled course, and completed courses to filter student

If you left all this to the weekend before the due date, and don't understand the difference between Pug and JS class definition, you are indeed in deep trouble. If you understood it all, you might be able to do this in a day. The class definition is quite simple, although I don't know if your instructor expects you to just have public data in the classes or to create accessors via get/set.

As of a few hours ago, I found out he extended the due date to next Saturday. He also provided the solution to defining classes and attributes. I figured most of the rest on my own with w3schools.

Can't you help me?

If figuring it out all together is hard for you: think about the simplest case, program it, and then keep adding complexity little by little.

Other thing that usually helps is just looking into similar code. That's how I coded the famous JavaScript plugin Autocomposer, without having used JavaScript before.

The hard part was figuring out how to call a system command ASYNCHRONOUSLY, and make a signal to catch it.

I just searched for the most similar code, and programmed first the simplest case possible.

Lol yeah that's how I write code for all my assignments and labs. I just sort of plagiarize what other people do, then change some stuff so it fits the requirements of what I have to hand in.

[es20490446e]

Well, that's not exactly what I do. As I usually deeply rework the code.
