> Key: THRIFT-3368
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3368
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: JavaScript - Compiler
> Affects Versions: 0.9.3
> Reporter: David Sautter
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: features
> Attachments:
> Enables_setting_required_struct-properties_by_prototype__Disables_initialization_with_null.patch
>
>
> If you have a struct and you want to set some fields by prototype (e.g. like
> a default, that depends on a certain application-state), Thrift does not
> allow this, because all fields will be "initialized" with null.
> Since I see no requirement to do so and the prototype of such a struct is
> defined, but always empty, I changed the Thrift-JS-Compiler to stop
> initializing fields with null and enabling the setting of fields via
> prototype.
