Different way of coding

[poudenes]

Hi All,

Maybe its to much and not possible but maybe the way of coding can be different:

Now we have this

Code: Select all

blocks[43] = {} // RPI USB USAGE
blocks[43]['width'] = 3;
blocks[43]['title'] = 'RPi CPU';
blocks[43]['image'] = 'pi3.png';
blocks[43]['switch'] = true;

But if we can code something like this

// RPI USB USAGE

Code: Select all

blocks[43] = {} : ['width'] = 3 : ['title'] = 'RPi CPU' : ['image'] = 'pi3.png' : ['switch'] = true;

So the : i use as example to split the options for that blocks. and the ; is to end the whole line so coding will goto new blocks then

or

Code: Select all

blocks[43] = {
     ['width'] = 3;
     ['title'] = 'RPi CPU';
     ['image'] = 'pi3.png';
     ['switch'] = true
     };

This will make the config shorter and much easier to handle when you use lot of blocks.

I agree. Becaouse if you need change IDX, you need change it at many places.

You can define the config like this:

Code: Select all

blocks[43] = {
     width: 3,
     title: 'RPi CPU',
     image: 'pi3.png',
     switch: true
};

It's basically the different ways javascript accepts object notation, or associative arrays.

These other notation can sometimes easier introduce errors in your config if you don't have a good editor that highlights the code (for example the ',' on the end of a line, instead of a ';')

Ok cool. So this will work on the config of Dashticz as well?
