Can I get variable name when setting its value in js?
Somthing like this:
var js = '<span id="'+ ::self.name +'"></span>';
So it would be
js = '<span id="js"></span>';
Context is not important, I know lots of longer ways to do the same, but it could be great to use the shortest.
Mmm - the closest thing I can think of is creating via templates :
//using this small template js code
if (!String.prototype.supplant) {
String.prototype.supplant = function (o) {
return this.replace(/{([^{}]*)}/g,
function (a, b) {
var r = o[b];
return typeof r === 'string' || typeof r === 'number' ? r : a;
}
);
};
}
var spanTmpl= '<span id="{id}"></span>';
var a= spanTmpl.supplant({id:"js"});
var b= spanTmpl.supplant({id:"bla"});
console.log(a); //<span id="js"></span>
console.log(b);//<span id="bla"></span>
No, you need to define a property in your js-object - i.e a name-property.
What's possible is to do the converse thing: You can call a JS-object with the name.
For example:
var propName = "prop";
var prop = "value";
console.log(window[propName]) // => will output "value"
Edit: Have you ever looked in to a Library such as Backbone, or KnockoutJS? I'm not sure what you're doing, but my best guess is that you're building functionality those libraries are already providing...
