adding parameters to function call

edwin — Fri, 18 Jun 2021 12:36:48 GMT

hi, im creating an extension and it is working fine. all my code is in one js file (main file) i wish to separate out the helper functions in a different js file. for functions that dont require parameters i used the following format:

define( [], function () { 'use strict'; ... return ... });

and it is working great. now i wish to create a js file with a function that requires a parameter. how do i code the js file?

where do i insert the params? if i do the following it wont work:

define( [], function (param1, param2) { 'use strict'; ... return ... });

thanks

i used the following and it worked:

define( [], function () { 'use strict'; return function (param) { console.log(param)} });

but does this mean you can only create one function per js file? how do you create a separate js file with all your different functions each requiring a parameter pretty much like a library?

quick and dirty test:

define( [], function () { 'use strict'; return { len: function (thisArray) {return thisArray.length}, sortit: function (thisArray) {thisArray.sort(); return thisArray} } });

define(["./arrayFunctions"], function (arrayFunction ) { return { paint: function ($element, layout) { ... var arr=[98, 18, 100, 17, 24, 34]; console.log('arr ', arr); console.log('len: ', arrayFunction.len(arr)) arrayFunction.sortit(arr) console.log('sorted: ',arr ) ......

for now this works for my purpose

if someone has a better way of doing this, pls share.

thanks
