Creating get/set method dynamically in javascript
- by portoalet
I am trying to create a UserDon object, and trying to generate the get and set methods programmatically ( based on Pro Javascript book by John Resig page 37 ), and am testing this on Firefox 3.5
The problem is: in function UserDon, "this" refers to the window object instead of the UserDon object.
So after calling var userdon = new UserDon(...) I got setname and getname methods created on the window object (also setage and getage).
How can I fix this?
function UserDon( properties ) {
for( var i in properties ) {
(function(){
this[ "get" + i ] = function() {
return properties[i];
};
this[ "set" + i ] = function(val) {
properties[i] = val;
};
})();
}
}
var userdon = new UserDon( {
name: "Bob",
age: 44
});
