Class: Table

A LUA-style table implementation that allows for arbitrary data types for keys.

Note

• Table should only be used when it's really important to use non-scalar types as keys, otherwise use plain objects, which have a better performance.

Table Method: constructor

Syntax

var myTable = new Table();

Arguments

None

Returns

• (object) A new Table instance.

Table Method: set

Set a value for a specific key. Note that the key can be anything - a function, an object, an element, etc.

Syntax

myTable.set(key, value);

Arguments

1. key - (object) The key for the value; any type of object.
2. value - (object) The value for the key; any type of object.

Returns

• (object) This Table instance.

Examples

var myTable = new Table();
myTable.set($('myForm'), {foo: 'bar'});
myTable.set(myClassInstance, $$('.someElements'));

Table Method: get

Get a value for a specific key.

Syntax

myTable.get(key);

Arguments

1. key - (object) The key for the value.

Returns

• (object) the value set for the specified key.

Table Method: set

Erase a given key/value from the Table instance.

Syntax

myTable.erase(key);

Arguments

1. key - (object) The key for the value.

Returns

• (object) This Table instance.

Table Method: each

Iterates over the key/values in the table.

Syntax

myTable.each(function, bind);

Arguments

1. function - (function) Function executed for each key/value pair in the Table instance; passed two arguments (key and value).
2. bind - (object, optional) The object to be used as 'this' in the function. For more information see Function:bind.

Returns

• (object) This Table instance.

Examples

var myTable = new Table();
// first set some values
myTable.set($('myForm'), {foo: 'bar'});
myTable.set(myClassInstance, $$('.someElements'));
// and now iterate over them
myTable.each(function(value, key){
    console.log(value, key);
});
