Proper way to get a callback into a function of a object

[jorgebastida]

If you know your object name you can use something like "myObject.callback_function" as callback. Dajaxice will execute .... myObject.callback_function(data).

It should work.

if I could pass a function reference rather than a string for the function, things would work much easier.

basically replace the 'eval' with execution of the passed func reference.

Can you share a workaround to solve this issue ?

[amccool]

let me dig thru the the js code generator, and try a few things

[amccool]

added a check in DajaxiceRequest.py for callback existance (used 'None' if nothing passed)
modified dajaxice.core.js to eval responsetext then directly execute passed callback js func.

I'll add an ExtJS generated callback func test tonight......all in all I'm not seeing any problems

[amccool]

I have a working solution. Whats the best way for me to submit my changes?

[jorgebastida]

If you want, branch dajaxice in github and push the changes, then I can pull the diff.

It would indeed be very nice if the callback could be specified as this.my_method(), directly referring to the current object's local scope. I'll be pulling from amccool's repo for now, in hope to see this change merged and documented soon :)

Thanks the fix!

In the last HEAD version callbacks can be functions and not strings. Old string based callbacks are still supported but will be deprecated soon.
