Question

Here’s the story… I have a jQuery function that does something, this function is referenced very regularly. One of the input parameters is an array, this array data is hard coded and thus I want to pass the data like this: (this is how I would do it using PHP)

myFunction(Array("url"=>"abc.com","example"=>"hello_world"));

Instead of

$arr=Array("url"=>"abc.com","example"=>"hello_world");
myFunction($arr);

So how do I achieve this with my jQuery function, I want this to be a one liner if possible.

Edit

Maybe my example was a bit misleading, take a look at the array indexes again. The array I am sending is an associative array.

In short I do not want any variables before my function, I want the array to be hardcoded directly in the function parameter as suggested in the first example I gave.

I reread your edited question, and your answer is in the javascript object, much like dictionaries or hashes in other languages:

    { first_key: '1', second_key: '2', third_key: '3' };

And for your callback, just pass it in as a literal declared on the spot:

    myFunction({ first_key: '1', second_key: '2', third_key: '3'});
