Answer 1

Use can utilize Array.prototype.filter(), Array.prototype.reduce(), and String.prototype.includes() to create such a filtration system, wherein an array of filters consisting of key value pairs can progressively be added to in order to refine an array of books.

See below for a practical example.

// Books.
const books = [
  {
    "title": "Book 1",
    "binding": "paperback",
    "category": "pop",
    "language": "english",
    "author": "male"
  },
  {
    "title": "Book 2",
    "binding": "hardcover",
    "category": "pop rock,electro pop",
    "language": "french",
    "author": "female"
  },
  {
    "title": "Book 3",
    "binding": "audiobook",
    "category": "soft rock",
    "language": "german",
    "author": "male,female"
  },
  {
    "title": "Book 4",
    "binding": "boxed set",
    "category": "rock,classic rock",
    "language": "english",
    "author": "female,male"
  },
  {
    "title": "Book 5",
    "binding": "paperback",
    "category": "electro pop,rock,classic rock",
    "language": "french",
    "author": "male/female"
  },
  {
    "title": "Book 6",
    "binding": "paperback",
    "category": "rock",
    "language": "french",
    "author": "male"
  }
]

// Query.
const query = (books, filters) => {

  // filters = [{key: 'category', value: 'string'}..]

  return books.filter((book) => {

    // Found?
    return filters.reduce((found, filter) => {
      if (!(book[filter.key].includes(filter.value))) return false
      return found
    }, true)

  })

}

// Log.
console.log('Category = Rock', query(books, [{key: 'category', value: 'rock'}]))
console.log('Category = Rock + Language = French', query(books, [{key: 'language', value: 'french'}]))

console.log('Paperback', query(books, [{key: 'binding', value: 'paperback'}])) // Paperback.
console.log('Paperback + Male', query(books, [{key: 'binding', value: 'paperback'}, {key: 'author', value: 'male'}])) // Paperback + Male.
console.log('Paperback + Male + Pop', query(books, [{key: 'binding', value: 'paperback'}, {key: 'author', value: 'male'}, {key: 'category', value: 'pop'}])) // Paperback + Male + Pop.
