Don't make functions within a loop
javascript, jslint
Solution
Move the function outside the loop:
function dummy() {
return this.name_;
}
// Or: var dummy = function() {return this.name;};
for (var i = 0; i<processorList.length; ++i) {
result[i] = {
processor_: timestampsToDateTime(processorList[i]),
name_: processorList[i].processorName,
getLabel: dummy
};
}
... Or just ignore the message by using the `loopfunc` option at the top of the file:
/*jshint loopfunc:true */
Problem
What would be the correct way to solve the jslint error in this case? I'm adding a getter function to an object which uses this. I don't know how to do this without creating the function inside the loop. ``` for (var i = 0; i<processorList.length; ++i) { result[i] = { processor_: timestampsToDateTime(processorList[i]), name_: processorList[i].processorName, getLabel: function() { // TODO solve function in loop. return this.name_; } }; } ```
