Question

I know when I want to pass a property as an argument I can use [x] but is it possible to pass

an argument that consists of two properteis and a : in between ?

function boson(w,z){
   $(w).stop().animate({
        z
    },{
        duration:2000
    })


}

    boson(".class","Left:'100%'")

I get a syntax error as I leave z as it is..

Answer 1

Why not just pass an entire object?

function boson(w,z){
   var defaultProps = {duration:2000};
   var props = $.extend(defaultProps, z);
   $(w).stop().animate(props);
}

boson(".class", {left:'100%'});

This way it’s easier if you decide to add in multiple properties later, without having to change your entire function 🙂
