how do you get the response back into the instance of the object?
- by randomdev
If you've written a class in JavaScript that calls a remote service's API, and that remote API offers a callback, how do you get the response back into the instance of the object that made the request?
I'll try to give you a very basic example FOO for making cross domain calls to BAR service which offers a callback. Please ignore the usual security concerns, (I own both servers).
function FOO() {
this.response = null;
this.execute = function(url) {
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = url;
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
}
this.catch = function(response) {
this.response = response;
}
}
var sample = new FOO();
sample.execute('http://barservices.com/sample/?callback={ plshelphere: this.catch}');
I have a way to make this work, but I'm curious if there is an "accepted approach" here.
Anyone have thoughts for me?
