How to use setInterval without using global variables? I’d prefer to wrap all variables

  • 0

How to use setInterval without using global variables? I’d prefer to wrap all variables of function invoked by setInerval in some kind of closure, like so:

var wrap = function (f){
 var local1, local2, ...;
 return function () { return f(); }
}

This doesn’t work, but the idea is that I’d pass wrap(f) instead of f to setInterval, so that locals for f are nicely wrapped and don’t pollute the global scope.

    javascript don’t have dynamic binding.(except this keyword)

    use anonymous function can archive your idea. (it called closure)

    var fnc = function(){
        var local1, local2;
    
        return function(){
             // using local1, local2
        }
    };
    
    setInterval(fnc, 1000);
