[SOLVED] JavaScript OOP with functions.

Question

I am trying to build a functional class factory in JavaScript. I succeeded but it looks like a mess. I want to know how I can refer to the instance of the object within the function. If I was using class prototypes I would have used `this` keyword.

Here is the code

I want to avoid getInstance() method. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You are constructing a new object on every call to `getInstance`. Which may be fine, but then of course there is no single "this" you could be referring to.

How about simply

const instance = { toggleState, trigger };

and then returning that?

Answer 2

Schindlabua You are right😀

Answer 3

Schindlabua Thanks. Can you suggest any other improvements to the code?

Answer 4

Depends on what you are going for, looks fine to me :)

Well actually I would prefer `isHidden ? 0 : 1` over `+!state` though.

Answer 5

Schindlabua Thanks. I prefer `+!state` since I am operating with binary values.
