Basically I'm creating my own callback and passing it into my method called _ajaxCall()
.
_ajaxCall()
takes the following parameters:
data
= an object containing the user submitted data to be POSTed to my server
postURL
= the url to post to
callback
= a function expression to be called upon successful return of data from the server.
Here is the _ajaxCall() method:
_ajaxCall: function (data, postURL, callback) {
$.post(postURL, {
data : data
}, 'json').done(function (returned) {
switch(returned.success) {
case true:
typeof callback === 'function' && callback(returned);
break;
}
}).fail(function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
if (status !== 200) {
window.location = document.URL;
}
});
}
commentUpdate : function(self) {
var postURL = '/submission/comment/' + self.attributes.commentId;
var data = {
action: self.attributes.action,
commentId : self.attributes.commentId,
comment: self.attributes.comment
};
var callback = function(returned) {
if (returned.success === true) {
// do something in here
} else {
// do other crap here
}
};
this._ajaxCall(data, postURL, callback);
}
But it's not passing returned
to my custom callback() method. Why?
