Short(er) hand for min max percentage?
I have a function that converts two values to a percentage within a range, in this case between 15000 and 100000. It feels very clunky. Is there a more simple way to express this which is easy/easier to understand?
price2percent = (sale) => {
let price = sale.soldPrice / sale.livingArea;
// Specifically these values
price = price > 100000 ? 100000 : price;
price = price < 15000 ? 15000 : price;
return (price - 1500) / 85000;
}

You might use Math.min and Math.max to constrain the ranges:
const adjustedPrice = Math.min(
100000, // can be no higher than 100000
Math.max(price, 15000) // can be no lower than 15000
);
return (adjustedPrice - 1500) / 85000;
Another option is nested conditionals, which will reduce the number of unnecessary reassignments, though it doesn't exactly make the code clearer:
const adjustedPrice =
price > 100000 ? 100000 :
price < 15000 ? 15000 : price

return (price - 1500) / 85000;
}
Which can be expressed shorter as: (the harder way)
price2percent = (sale) => {
let price = sale.soldPrice / sale.livingArea;
price = price > 100000 ? 100000 : (price < 15000 ? 15000 : price)
return (price - 1500) / 85000;
