Question

I’m using javascript and have this enumeration:

filterType = { Campaign : 'Campaign', Class : 'Class', Date : 'Date', 
               DateGeq : 'DateGeq', DateLeq : 'DateLeq', 
               DateRange : 'DateRange', Status : 'Status' }

I’d like to name it as:

Filter.filterType = { Campaign : 'Campaign', Class : 'Class', Date : 'Date', 
                      DateGeq : 'DateGeq', DateLeq : 'DateLeq', 
                      DateRange : 'DateRange', Status : 'Status' }

The interpreter doesn’t like dot character.

Can I add a dot character in enumeration names???

Thanks!!!

You’re probably getting an error because you’re trying to assign a value to the filterType member on a class called Filter, but Filter is undefined. It’ll work if you defined Filter first.

var Filter = {};

To do it all in one line you could write:

var Filter = { filterType: { ... } };
