Question

var pm.view= {
    tests_enabled: true 
};

(function () {
    pm.view.methodName1= function () {

    };

    pm.view.methodName2 = function () {

    };

})();

Why do i get an error missing ; before statement on my first line pm.view

Answer 1

Variable declarations in JavaScript must be one word only, so the pm object should use var for declaration and then the view can be attached to it. If pm and view are being declared at the same time:

var pm = {
  view: {
    tests_enabled: true 
  }
};

or if pm is already defined, just use dot notation to add view to it:

pm.view = {
  tests_enabled: true 
};
