Hi everyone,
My question is-- quite often I do something like this:
var Photos = (function() {
var Photos = Class.create({
initialize: function() {
var photos = this;
//............etc
}
return Photos;
})();
and then when I have class methods, I have redefine a local variable
to reference the class, such as:
foo: function() {
var photos = this;
}
I prefer to set a variable to 'this', because the context of this ends
up getting very confusing at times, and requires lots of .bind,
etc..... So anyway, doing the whole 'var photos = this' in every
method ends up being rather redundant and so I have found myself
doing:
var Photos = (function() {
var Photos = Class.create({
initialize: function() {
photos = this;
// etc
},
foo: function() {
photos.do_something;
}
});
return Photos;
})();
So this solves that problem-- but global variables are "evil"..
BUT.. this is in the context of a closure, so I wonder if it's less
evil? Or if there is a better way to do what I am doing? I am not
sure how you guys do this sort of thing... So, I'd love to hear your
advice.
Thanks.
