Moreover, #each (and most of enumerable methods) accepts "context" object as a second argument - since this is such a common need.
SomeComplexDataStructure.DataPart.each( function(DataPart) { this.myRecursiveFunction(DataPart); }, this ); It's also good to remember that using bind is a little slower than storing context in a separate variable. - kangax On May 27, 2:44 pm, "Ryan Gahl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > :) > > Both are good patterns to know about (mine of course only works if you are > using prototype while yours is good old javascript). > > On 5/27/08, Frederick Polgardy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > Buy him a beer instead; this solution is a lot better than mine in this > > case. > > > On Tue, May 27, 2008 at 1:04 PM, Ryan Gahl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> Another way to do this could be to just use proto's .bind(), assuming the > >> "myRecursiveFunction" is only ever called as an instance method (vs. > >> calling > >> it statically against the MyNS.Package's prototype)... > > >> So: > > >> SomeComplexDataStructure.DataPart.each( function(DataPart) { > >> *this.myRecursiveFunction(DataPart);* // or whatever the args should be > >> }.bind(this) ); > > > -- > > Science answers questions; philosophy questions answers. > > -- > Ryan Gahl > Manager, Senior Software Engineer > Nth Penguin, LLChttp://www.nthpenguin.com > -- > WebWidgetry.com / MashupStudio.com > Future Home of the World's First Complete Web Platform > -- > Inquire: 1-920-574-2218 > Blog:http://www.someElement.com > LinkedIn Profile:http://www.linkedin.com/in/ryangahl --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
