Methods with Object Constructors

SharePointPunk · Sep 20, 2015

I am trying to write a simple method to add to my object constructor. All the standard property's work fine but I cant get the method to return anything.

I am not sure if it needs to be a prototype since its inside a constructor.
Thanks for your help!

I am running "console.log(HR.Info);" inside firebug and getting undefined also once it returned function() not sure why.

<script>

var Opening = function(Position, Salary, Title){

this.Position = Position;
this.Salary = Salary;
this.Title = Title;
this.Info = function(){
return "You will be working in"+ Position +"making" + Salary +"you will be called" + Title;
}
}

var HR = new Opening("IT", 110000, "Director");

</script>

Hi there,

your this.Info is still lacking a bit spacing and maybe a new line, but I got the correct return value like this:

Code:

var Opening = function (Position, Salary, Title) {

	this.Position = Position;
	this.Salary = Salary;
	this.Title = Title;
	this.Info = "You will be working in" + Position + "making" + Salary + "you will be called" + Title;
}
var HR = new Opening("IT", 110000, "Director");
alert(HR.Info);

If its a function you have to run it with () like

Code:

console.log(HR.Info[highlight]()[/highlight])

Example:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
  <head>
  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>SharePointPunk</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <h1>SharePointPunk</h1>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  
  var Opening = function(Position, Salary, Title){
    this.Position = Position;
    this.Salary = Salary;
    this.Title = Title;
    this.info = function(){
      return "You will be working in "+ Position + ", making " 
      + Salary +", you will be called " + Title;
    }
  }
 
  var hr = new Opening("IT", 110000, "Director");
  console.log(hr);
  console.log(hr.info());    
  
  </script>
  </body>
</html>

Output on FireFox console:

Code:

Object { Position: "IT", Salary: 110000, Title: "Director", info: Opening/this.info() }
You will be working in IT, making 110000, you will be called Director
