This method basically allows you to use "Local" object to store functions local values and "Static" object to store functions static values!
To create the functions "Static" objects, use unique global variable names based on the function name itself such as "Function_Test_Function", "Function_ScreenGet_Function", "Function_Calculate8776_Function", "Class_Function_Test_Class", etc, etc, etc ...!
When a function returns, javascript automatically clears all its "Local" variables values!
If
you need a value to be remembered between the function calls, you need
to store that value in a "Static" variable of that same function!
Unfortunately, javascript does not support functions "Static" variables! (Most languages that I know support it!)
So, an alternative is:
- lets say your function name is "Test"
- inside the function, create a "global" object based on your function's name, example: "Function_Test_Function"
-
inside the function, declare "Static" variable as local object by
passing the reference of "Function_Test_Function" object inside it!
-
now you can store static values of your function through the local
"Static" object, example: Static.x, Static.y, Static.data, etc, etc
note that:
- using "Static.x" or "Function_Test_Function.x" is the same thing, but the former is more practical to use then the latter!
- both "Static" or "Function_Test_Function" variables reference the same object stored in the ram memory!
-
"Static" or "Function_Test_Function" variables don't contain the
object's values, they contain only a reference to an object stored in
the memory!
