通过使用其他文件来填充Javascript文件的数组

Question

I have a js-file(A) including an array

$(function(){
    function initVMap(){
        $('#vmap').vectorMap({
            map: 'world_mill',


     //...........................
            markers: [
                {latLng: [3.2, 73.22], name: 'Maldives'},
                {latLng: [35.88, 14.5], name: 'Malta'},
                {latLng: [12.05, -61.75], name: 'Grenada'},
                {latLng: [13.16, -59.55], name: 'Barbados'},
                {latLng: [17.11, -61.85], name: 'Antigua and Barbuda'},
                {latLng: [-4.61, 55.45], name: 'Seychelles'},
                {latLng: [7.35, 134.46], name: 'Palau'},                        
            ]
        });
    }

   //........................

the array data will be provided by another system and changes constantly. So, the idea is to provide array-data out of the other json-file(B). My question is. Could somebody tell me if and how to call the other file(B) to fill up the array of my json-file(A)?

Answer 1

I probably have a solution.

I will write my array data to a json-file(FileB). In my js-File(A) i will call the date in (FileB) like:

var myList;
$.getJSON('json-file.json')
.done(function (data) {
myList = data;
});

But how to insert "myList" into my array of js-File(A)?

markers: [
            {latLng: [3.2, 73.22], name: 'Maldives'},
            {latLng: [35.88, 14.5], name: 'Malta'},
            {latLng: [12.05, -61.75], name: 'Grenada'},
            {latLng: [13.16, -59.55], name: 'Barbados'},
            {latLng: [17.11, -61.85], name: 'Antigua and Barbuda'},
            {latLng: [-4.61, 55.45], name: 'Seychelles'},
            {latLng: [7.35, 134.46], name: 'Palau'},                        
        ]
    });
}

Can somebody help me?
