Question

I’m trying to convert some code to coffeescript and I’m having problems with this:

var $el = $('<span/>', {
    class : 'myclass',
    click : function () {
        var $this = $(this)
        if (foo) { // radio & check
            baz($this)
        }else{
            bla($this)
        }
    }
});

I wrote in coffee like so:

$el = $('<span/>',
  class: 'myclass'
  click: ->
    $this = $(this)
    if foo
      baz $this
    else
      bla $this
)

Which works just fine, but I really dislike that last parenthesis, is there any way I could write this code without parens, just indentation?

Answer 1

Works fine if you drop both parentheses.

$el = $ "<span/>",
  class: "myclass"
  click: ->
    $this = $(this)
    if foo
      baz $this
    else
      bla $this
