Extending Object in Javasript
- by smsteel
I'm trying to extend Object functionality this way:
Object.prototype.get_type = function() {
if(this.constructor) {
var r = /\W*function\s+([\w\$]+)\(/;
var match = r.exec(this.constructor.toString());
return match ? match[1].toLowerCase() : undefined;
}
else {
return typeof this;
}
}
It's great, but there is a problem:
var foo = { 'bar' : 'eggs' };
for(var key in foo) {
alert(key);
}
There'll be 3 passages of cycle.
Is there any way to avoid this?
