Java script resolution of function calls Follow

Created December 25, 2014 12:33

Hello,

For example, consider the code below:

 function hello1() {
    console.log("hello1");
}
var lib2 = function(context) {
    context.hello2 = function() {
        console.log("hello2");
    };
};
var lib3 = function(context) {
    context.hello3 = function() {
        console.log("hello3");
    };
};

function main() {
    var importedLib = {};
    lib2(importedLib);
    lib3(this);

    hello1();             // resolved
    importedLib.hello2(); // resolved
    hello3();             // not resolved
}

For "hello1()" and "hello2()" IntelliJ will find their usages. However, calling "hello3()" without specifying "this" or some other object is not resolved.

Is there a way to fix this?


Thank you,
Dmitry

Hello Dmitry,

WebStorm can't handle such dynamic bindings, but as a workaround you can use @name tag. This way hello3 will be resolved both from global context and after qualifier:

 var lib3 = function(context) {
    /** @name hello3 */
    context.hello3 = function() {
        console.log("hello3");
    };
};

Thank you. This does help with resolution from function invocation.

However, the function call is still not searchable from its declaration:

 var lib3 = function(context) {
    /** @name hello3 */
    context.hello3 = function() { // search finds only "this.hello3()"
        console.log("hello3");    // search from string literal finds all three usages
    };
};

function main() {
    lib3(this);
    this.hello3(); // search finds all three usages
    hello3();      // search finds all three usages
}
