Question

as usual i come here after testing around for hours and not having any clue what i am doing wrong 😉 I am not an javascript expert so i suppose this will cause some rolling eyes 😉 Sorry about that. I am now at a point where i tried to code somehting in a more readable way. Seperating functions in classes etc… What i want to achieve is something like this:

---

modules.create(‘streamModule’,’leftColumn’)
which will call
streamModule.create()

---

NOW THE THING I DONT GET TO WORK:
Calling modules.create(‘streamModule’,’leftColumn’) always results in
Reference Error: leftColumn is not defined???
The id in the call: eval(type +”.create(“+id+”,”+target”)”); is always passed correctly but the target parameter is not??? What am i doing wrong?

Any help would be very very appreciated!!!!! Thank you!

var modules = {
    _map    : [],

    create: function(type,target) {

    if(type == undefined) return false;
    if(target == undefined) return false;

    //Store id in map
    this._map.push(id = createID());

    //Call create function of module
    eval(type +".create("+id+","+target")");
    }
}

var streamModule = {

create: function() {
    $.log(target)
   }
}

[…]

modules.create('streamModule','leftColumn')

Why do you need eval at all?

var modules = {
    _map    : [],

    create: function(type,target) {

    if(type == undefined) return false;
    if(target == undefined) return false;

    //Store id in map
    this._map.push(id = createID());

    //Call create function of module
    type.create(id, target);
}

var streamModule = {

   create: function(id, target) {
    $.log(target)
   }
}

[…]

modules.create(streamModule, leftColumn);
