CoffeeScript function argument

rated 0 times [ 167] [ 3] / answers: 1 / hits: 16996 / 12 Years ago, tue, june 19, 2012, 12:00:00

I have a function that I want to pass an argument, market, to the function freeSample, but I can't seem to get it set as an argument. Please take a moment to look at my code and help me to understand how to get the market as an argument in the freeSample function.

(freeSample) ->  

 market = $('#market')

  jQuery('#dialog-add').dialog =

   resizable: false

   height: 175

   modal: true

   buttons: ->

    'This is Correct': ->

      jQuery(@).dialog 'close'

    'Wrong Market': ->

      market.focus()

      market.addClass 'color'

      jQuery(@).dialog 'close'

UPDATE: Here is the JavaScript I currently have that I am trying to convert to CoffeeScript.

function freeSample(market) 

 {

   var market = $('#market');

   jQuery(#dialog-add).dialog({

    resizable: false,

    height:175,

    modal: true,

     buttons: {

      'This is Correct': function() {

         jQuery(this).dialog('close');

     },

      'Wrong Market': function() {

        market.focus();

        market.addClass('color');

        jQuery(this).dialog('close');

     }

    }

  });

 }

What you have here is not a function named freeSample. Is an anonymous function with a single argument called freeSample. The syntax for functions in CoffeeScript is like this:

myFunctionName = (myArgument, myOtherArgument) ->

So in your case it could be something like this:

freeSample = (market) ->

  #Whatever

EDIT (after OP updated the question):
In your specific case you could do it like so:

freeSample = (market) ->

  market = $(#market)

  jQuery(#dialog-add).dialog

    resizable: false

    height: 175

    modal: true

    buttons:

      This is Correct: ->

        jQuery(this).dialog close



      Wrong Market: ->

        market.focus()

        market.addClass color

        jQuery(this).dialog close
