Javascript pass reference by value
- by Carlos R. Batista
Im having this weird reference issue when im trying to get a JSON file through query:
var themeData;
$.getJSON("json/sample.js", function(data) {
themeData = data.theme;
console.log(themeData.sample[0].description);
});
console.log(themeData.sample[0].description);
The first console.log works, the second doesnt. Im guessing because "data" already expired by the time the script gets there and themeData is just a mere pointer to "data". Is there a ways I can make sure themeData gets a duplicate of "data" and not just a pointer to it?
