Is it possible to define class in EFS?

[clearpicks]

Hello,

Does eSignal EFS support using class? I tried to use class in EFS, but got the error message
..... line 23: SyntaxError: missing ; before statement
class myBar {


If class is not supported in EFS, what workaround is available?

Hi clearpicks,

JavaScript uses functions and prototypes, not classes, but a function constructor can be used to construct objects with methods which are pretty close.

Here is your rewritten code, should work...

function myBar(a, b) {
  this.n = a;
  this.s = b;
}


function preMain() {

}

function main() {
  if (getCurrentBarIndex() == -1) {
    var A = new Array();
    var i;
    for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      var a = new myBar(i, "s" + i);
      A[i] = a;
    }
    for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      var a = A[i];
      debugPrintln(a.n + "    " + a.s);
    }
  }
}

Steve,

Thank you for the reply. The example code I posted was based on some code writen for Unity. I didnot realized Unity "Javascript" is different from Javascript.

Hi Clearpicks,

You are welcome. Interesting, I looked it up and found a link. Based on what I can gather, it seems to be more like C# (compiled) but with some JavaScript functionality, neat.
