javascript instanceof get type from string name
- by dcp
Let's say I have this (assume the name variable is "receiver"):
if (!(receiver instanceof com.HTMLReceiver)) {
throw new com.IllegalArgumentException(
name + " is not an instance of com.HTMLReceiver.");
}
I'd like to factor this code out into a common method so I could call it like this:
Helper.checkInstance(receiver, "com.HTMLReceiver");
But I don't know of a way to convert the com.HTMLReceiver from a string to its actual type so I can use instanceof on it.
Is there a way?
