In my app.js I have defined functions like this:
var func1 = function(v1,v2,v3) {
.
.
}
var func2 = function(v1,v2,v3) {
.
.
}
In my controller.js:
var action = "";
if(..) { action = 'func1';}
else {action = 'func2'}
action(a1,a2,a3);
However, I get an error, saying that action is not a function. How can I access func1 and func2`` like this?
try removing quotes, like, change:
if(..) { action = 'func1';}
else {action = 'func2'}
to
if(..) { action = func1;}
else {action = func2;}
Added:
you are assigning string to your action variable when you add quotes for the func1, you can check it doing:
var func1 = function(v1,v2,v3) {
alert("first");
};
var test_this = func1;
console.log( typeof test_this); //gives you function
where as
var test_this = 'func1'; //with quotes added
console.log( typeof test_this); //gives you string
func1 and func2 are global, action cannot access the function by name anyways. It's rare to identify a function by name in javascript - it would have to be accessed as window[name] (in a browser) or global[name] (everywhere else)window is not the global object.{"action":"add", "args":[1,2]}You're trying to access the function from a string. I'm no expert but you could just try
if (..) {
func1(a1, a2, a3);
} else {
func2(a1, a2, a3);
}
action=func1 ... action=func2
