Trouble defining method for Javascript class definition.
- by btoverdrive
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;
};
}
