can some one please tell me how can i make the send function read the email object from the next code?
var email = {
to: '[email protected]',
subject: 'new email',
text: 'helloWorld'
}
function send() {
var sendMe = new email();
console.log(sendMe.subject);
}
send();
i get this error i also tried to declare the email as follow :
var email = new object();
and it didn't work
Uncaught TypeError: object is not a function
You are either trying to do this:
var email = { to: '[email protected]', subject: 'new email', text: 'helloWorld' }
function send()
{
console.log(email.subject);
}
send();
Or this
function email()
{
this.to = '[email protected]';
this.subject = 'new email';
this.text = 'helloworld';
}
function send()
{
var sendMe = new email();
console.log(sendMe.subject);
}
send();
I'm not sure which, so I made an example of both. Cheers
It sounds like you want sendMe to point at the same data email is holding:
var email = { ...} ;
function send() {
var sendMe = email;
console.log(sendMe.subject);
}
But if this is the case, you might as well skip the extra variable and just use email directly:
var email = { ...} ;
function send() {
console.log(email.subject);
}
You can't use an identifier as an object constructor unless it's a function.
If you want a reference to the object that you created, just copy it from the variable:
var sendMe = email;
You have to return object:
var email = function() {
return {
to: '[email protected]',
subject: 'new email',
text: 'helloWorld'
}
};
and then
function send() {
var sendMe = new email();
console.log(sendMe.subject);
}
should work.
var sendMe = email(); since it's returning a new object
this which basically will do the same with sendMe - it will be same object as in mine. I only showed the way, it's not the perfect code :)new keyword is not necessary since the object is being created inside the function anyway. Using the new keyword you are essentially creating two objects and returning one of them. It will work but is not optimal, that's all I'm sayingnew was incident ;)
