I don't know if this is possible as I can't get it to work, so I
thought I'd ask here. My class has various methods that do the same
basic functionality in different flavors. I can't just use arguments
since each method is fundamentally different and needs its own code.
So let's say I have methods:
createWithOl: function() {},
createWithDiv: function() {},
createWithTable: function() {}
I have an option called "type" that is set to either "ol", "li", or
"table" depending on what the user wants. What I'm trying to do is
make a variable that looks like this...
builder: {
ol: this.createWithOl,
div: this.createWithDiv,
table: this.createWithTable
}
...so that I can then use something like this to build the correct
element (instead of using a switch statement):
toElement: function() {
this.element = this.builder[this.options.type];
}
I've done the code but it hasn't worked so far. I'm guessing is a
scope related issue but I can't seem to figure out what I need to pass
to the functions. Any tips?
