How to refactor this Javascript anonymous function?
- by HeavyWave
We have this anonymous function in our code, which is part of the jQuery's Ajax object parameters and which uses some variables from the function it is called from.
this.invoke = function(method, data, callback, error, bare) {
$.ajax({
success: function(res) {
if (!callback) return;
var result = "";
if (res != null && res.length != 0)
var result = JSON2.parse(res);
if (bare)
{ callback(result); return; }
for (var property in result) {
callback(result[property]);
break;
}
}
});
}
I have omitted the extra code, but you get the idea. The code works perfectly fine, but it leaks 4 Kbs on each call in IE, so I want to refactor it to turn the anonymous function into a named one, like this.onSuccess = function(res) { .. }.
The problem is that this function uses variables from this.invoke(..), so I cannot just take it outside of its body. How do I correctly refactor this code, so that it does not use anonymous functions and parent function variables?
