Ok so I'm working away on a project in Nodes, and I've come across a small problem with the keys in object literals, I have the following set-up:
var required = {
directories : {
this.applicationPath : Application + this.application + does not exists,
this.applicationPath + /configs : Application config folder does not exists,
this.applicationPath + /controllers : Application controllers folder does not exists,
this.applicationPath + /public : Application public folder does not exists,
this.applicationPath + /views : Application views folder does not exists
},
files : {
this.applicationPath + /init.js : Application init.js file does not exists,
this.applicationPath + /controllers/index.js : Application index.js controller file does not exists,
this.applicationPath + /configs/application.js: Application configs/application.js file does not exists,
this.applicationPath + /configs/server.js : Application configs/server.js file does not exists
}
}
Ok so many of you will look at this and think it look's OK, but the compiler keeps telling me that I am missing a :
(colon), which im not, it seems like the +
or and the .
are both effecting the compiler.
Now i believe (not sure), that object literals are created at compile time, and not run-time, meaning that dynamic variables such as this.applicationPath
and concatenation are not going to be available :( :(
What's the best way to overcome an obstacle like this without having to rewrite large chunks of code.
