I've a set of jquery and generally javascript function in a js. Now I want to avoid some of the functions to be available on some condition. For example:
function test () {
alert("hi");
}
function avoid () {
if(condition) {
//here avoid to call test
}
}
Thanks
If you want to remove a function without errors (provided the caller of the function doesn't expect a returned result), you might do
function avoid () {
if(condition) {
test = function(){}; // does nothing
}
}
Note that if your avoid function is in a different scope, you might have to adapt. For example if test is defined in the global scope, then you'd do window.test = function(){};
test.old = test to keep the old functionI am not sure if I understood your question well but if the call to your test function is within the avoid function like below:
function test () {
alert("hi");
}
function avoid () {
if(condition) {
//here avoid to call test
return false;
}
test();
}
Then a simple return false could solve your problem, I am not sure if your functions are using events but if that is the case this is a good post that you can read about preventDefault and return false : enter link description here
if test is at the same level of avoid like below :
function test () {
alert("hi");
}
function avoid () {
if(condition) {
//here avoid to call test
return false;
}
return true;
}
// below is your functions call
check = avoid();
if(check){
test();
}

I hope that helps.
conditionbe evaluated withintest()itself? Like for instancefunction test() { if (!condition) { alert("hi"); } }?
