Calling function defined in an IIFE function from

2019-03-06 23:40发布

问题:

I have a IIFE function in a file called test.js i.e.

(function mainIIFE() {
    "use strict";
    var print_name = function(first, last) {
        console.log(first + " " + last);
    };
}());

How would I call print_name in an html file. In my head, I have

  <head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="test.js"></script>
  </head>

and

<script>
    new print_name("Bob", "Downs");
</script>

later on in my html file.

But when I try to run, it's not recognizing the print_name function.

回答1:

Since you declare print_name with var, its scope is local to the IIFE, so you can't call it from outside there. You need to assign to window.print_name to make it global.

(function mainIIFE() {
    "use strict";
    window.print_name = function(first, last) {
        console.log(first + " " + last);
    };
}());

It's also not clear why you're using new to call the function, since it doesn't fill in an object.



回答2:

You can return the function and store it in a variable. This is essentially the same as assigning it to window.print_name inside the IIFE since the new variable will be in global namespce

var print_name = (function mainIIFE() {
    "use strict";
    var print_name = function(first, last) {
        console.log(first + " " + last);
    };
    return print_name;
}());

print_name('Foo','Bar')
