Pass additional parameter to Javascript callback function [duplicate]
Example using JS Bind
Doc: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/bind
Tip, the bound parameters occur before the call-time parameters.
my_hello = 'Hello!'
my_world = {
'antartica': 'cold',
}
anonymous_callback = function (injected1, injected2, param1, param2) {
param1 = param1 ? param1 : 'One';
param2 = param2 ? param2 : 'Two';
console.log('param1: (' + typeof(param1) + ') ' + param1)
console.log('param2: (' + typeof(param2) + ') ' + param2)
console.log('injected1: (' + typeof(injected1) + ') ' + injected1)
console.log('injected2: (' + typeof(injected2) + ') ' + injected2)
console.log(injected2)
}.bind(this, my_hello, my_world)
anonymous_callback('Param 1', 'Param 2')
Output:
param1: (string) Param 1
param2: (string) Param 2
injected1: (string) Hello!
injected2: (object) [object Object]
{ antartica: 'cold' }
You can pass a different function for each iteration:
var getUpdatedFunction = function(folderName) {
return function(event, filename) {
log("CHANGED\t" + folderName + "/" + filename);
};
};
for(i in channels) {
foldername = 'share/channels/' + channels[i];
fs.watch(foldername, {persistent: false}, getUpdatedFunction(foldername));
}
You can use Function.bind
:
function updated(extraInformation, event, filename) {
log("CHANGED\t/share/channels/" + extraInformation + filename);
}
for(i in channels)
fs.watch('share/channels/' + channels[i], {persistent: false},
updated.bind(null, 'wherever/it/is/'));
