Updated Answer
Due to all the downsides of adding a function to the Array prototype, I am updating this answer to provide an alternative that keeps the syntax similar to the syntax originally requested in the question.
class TravellerCollection extends Array {
sum(key) {
return this.reduce((a, b) => a + (b[key] || 0), 0);
}
}
const traveler = new TravellerCollection(...[
{ description: 'Senior', Amount: 50},
{ description: 'Senior', Amount: 50},
{ description: 'Adult', Amount: 75},
{ description: 'Child', Amount: 35},
{ description: 'Infant', Amount: 25 },
]);
console.log(traveler.sum('Amount')); //~> 235
Original Answer
Since it is an array you could add a function to the Array prototype.
traveler = [
{ description: 'Senior', Amount: 50},
{ description: 'Senior', Amount: 50},
{ description: 'Adult', Amount: 75},
{ description: 'Child', Amount: 35},
{ description: 'Infant', Amount: 25 },
];
Array.prototype.sum = function (prop) {
var total = 0
for ( var i = 0, _len = this.length; i < _len; i++ ) {
total += this[i][prop]
}
return total
}
console.log(traveler.sum("Amount"))
