Solved! Special thanks to @Japh and John Blackbourne for figuring out where I went wrong 🙂
I’m trying to abstract some strings from a JavaScript file, but I can’t get it to work. I’m hoping some kind soul somewhere out there on the interwebz can tell me what stupidly obvious thing I am missing.
The code is buried in something which is manipulating a Backbone.js script. No matter what I do, I can’t use a variable with the “routes” section and am not sure how to work around that. You can see an example with the “blabla” variable below:
var blabla = 'boober';
// Sets up the routes events for relevant url queries
themes.Router = Backbone.Router.extend({
routes: {
blabla: 'this should be a boober',
'test': 'test',
'another-test': 'yes it is a test'
},
Any ideas on how this works and how I can go about working around it?
I don’t really understand the syntax used there, which is probably not helping my understanding of it :/
Big thanks to anyone who is able to assist me in figuring this out 🙂
var blabla = 'boober';
var my_routes = {
'test': 'test',
'another-test': 'yes it is a test'
};
my_routes[blabla] = 'this should be a boober';
// Sets up the routes events for relevant url queries
themes.Router = Backbone.Router.extend({
routes: my_routes,
Thank you!
I just figured out the answer about 60 seconds ago via @Japh (his response was the same as yours).
I’m updating the post right now to say it’s solved now. Thanks for helping out 🙂
