Helllo people I'm now developing an instant messaging system but I'm a little confused : I can't decide which approach do I have to choose!
Here is a code and I want you to tell me what is good/bad with this programming approach: one friend of mine said it's difficult to read, but It works
/*! | (c) 2012, 2013 by Bellashh*/
/// <reference path="jquery-2.0.0-vsdoc.js" />
$(document).ready(function () {
var ChatProvider = {
"Friends": [],
"People": [],
"Conferences": [],
"UI": {},
"Utils": {
"functions": {
"alert": function (str) {
alert(str);
} /*ChatProvider.Utils.functions.alert*/ ,
"addFriend": function (friend) {
ChatProvider.Friends.push(friend);
alert(ChatProvider.Friends.pop().Names);
} /*ChatProvider.Utils.functions.addFriend*/ ,
} /*ChatProvider.Utils.functions*/ ,
"events": {} /*ChatProvider.Utils.events*/ ,
"settings": {
} /*ChatProvider.Utils.settings*/
}
} //var ChatProvider
ChatProvider.Utils.functions.addFriend({
"Names": "bellash"
});
}); //$(document).ready
ps: for visibility sake, I added some space between line separating objects' properties
Friends,PeopleandConferences? Do we get them through a function or do we access the arrays directly? – Joseph the Dreamer Apr 25 at 16:37addFriendpushes something onto theFriendsarray and then immediately pops it back off, which makes no sense, and thealertfunction seems contrived; it just wrapswindow.alert. In other words, it wouldn't do much good to review this code, as the code doesn't do anything useful. – Dagg Apr 25 at 18:34
