Hey list,
I need to perform a conversion from a Neko object to a different vm
object instance, but to do so requires knowing what fields an object
contains. Is it possible to retrieve an array of field names that I
can iterate over to perform the conversion?
Thanks,
Lee
If the hashed names are alright, you can use $objfields(). Otherwise, it
just happens that I have such code sitting right here to return an array
of strings:
get_field_names = function(object) {
//$objfields returns an array of integers, which are the hashed
names of the fields
var field_list = $objfields(object)
//Number of fields in the array
var num_fields = $asize(field_list)
//Empty array to populate with field names
var field_names = $amake(num_fields)
//Index variable
var i = 0
//Loop over the fields
while(i < num_fields) {
//Convert integer field to string and store in array
field_names[i] = $field(field_list[i])
i = i + 1
}
return field_names
}
