how to do ENUM ? - Javascript

samuelberthelot

Hi,

In vb.net it would be like :

Enum eFilterType
OpenBracketFilter = 0
ClosedBracketFilter = 1
ValueFilter = 2
CategoryFilter = 3
NotFilter = 4
OperatorFilter = 5
End Enum

How can i do that in JavaScript (not JScript) ?

Thanks

JavaScript 1.x does not have an enumeration data type declaration
feature. JScript.NET has one:

Thanks, but I've explicitely mentionned JavaScript, not JScript. I'm
wondering what would be the best solution to emulate an ENUM
functionnality in JavaScript, since as you pointed out, it is not
supported. Does anyone have an idea ?

Thanks

var eFilterType = { OpenBracketFilter:0, ClosedBracketFilter:1, ... };

alert(eFilterType.OpenBracketFilter);

If that doesn't answer the question, then be more specific about exactly
what functionality of ENUM you want to emulate.

It does answer the question actually !
Thanks a lot Matt !

var eFilterType = { OpenBracketFilter:0, ClosedBracketFilter:1, ... };

alert(eFilterType.OpenBracketFilter);
