I'm somewhat new to object oriented programming in Javascript and I'm trying to build a handler object and library for a list of items I get back from an API call. Ideally, I'd like the library functions to be members of the handler class. I'm having trouble getting my class method to work however. I defined as part of the class bcObject the method getModifiedDateTime, but when I try to echo the result of the objects call to this method, I get this error:


Error on line 44 position 26: Expected ';'
    this.getModifiedDateTime: function(epochtime) {

which leads me to believe that I simply have a syntax issue with my method definition but I can't figure out where.


response(
    {
        "items":
        [
            {"id":711,"name":"Shuttle","lastModifiedDate":"1268426336727"},
            {"id":754,"name":"Formula1","lastModifiedDate":"1270121717721"}
        ],
        "extraListItemsAttr1":"blah",
        "extraListItemsAttr2":"blah2"
    });

function response(MyObject) { bcObject = new bcObject(MyObject);

thing = bcObject.getModifiedDateTime(bcObject.videoItem[0].lastModifiedDate);
SOSE.Echo(thing);

}

function bcObject(listObject) { // define class members this.responseList = {}; this.videoCount = 0; this.videoItem = []; this.responseListError = "";

// instantiate members
this.responseList = listObject;
this.videoCount = listObject.items.length;

// populate videoItem array
for (i=0;i<this.videoCount;i++) {
    this.videoItem[i] = listObject.items[i];
}

this.getModifiedDateTime: function(epochtime) {
    var dateStringOutput = "";
    var myDate = new Date(epochtime);
    dateStringOutput = myDate.toLocaleString();
    return dateStringOutput;
};

}
