Well, is it possible to use function as return statement in outer function?
I want to use something like this:
function returnFunction(){
// some magic (unknown for me) code here
}
// and here is just usual function
function calculateFunction(a,b){
var result = a + b;
returnFunction();
showResult(result);
}
So, the function above should only calculate "a + b" but don't show it result because "returnFunction" should play a role of native "return" statement in "calculateFunction".
I know that I can always do something like this:
function calculateFunction(a,b){
var result = a + b;
if( needReturnFunction() ) return;
showResult(result); // won't run if above true
}
But my point is to actually simulate "return", replace it.
So, if it possible, what the "magic code" then?
The only way I can imagine something like that is if you throw
function returnFunction(){
if (shouldReturn) throw 'return';
}
// and here is just usual function
function calculateFunction(a,b){
var result = a + b;
returnFunction();
showResult(result); // won't run if above throws
}
But then you would have to always use try
, catch
:
try {
calculateFunction(a, b);
}
catch (err) {
// if error thrown is 'return' then ignore
if (err !== 'return') throw err;
}
This is definitely not something nice to do. You should probably re-think your code.
