Trying to understand prototyping in Javascript. Trying to create your own namespace to extend a String object in JavaScript.
Here is what I still have (snippet):
var ns {
alert: function() {
alert (this);
}
}
String.prototype.$ns = ns;
As you can see, I am trying to place what will be a series of functions in the ns namespace. Therefore, I can execute the command as follows:
"hello world".$ns.alert();
But the problem is that this one does not refer to the text being sent (in this case, “hello world”). I get a warning window with the following:
[object of object]
Not having a complete understanding of the object-oriented nature of JavaScript, I am at a loss, but I assume that I am missing something simple.
- , ( )? , (ns.alert( "hello world" );), .
