[v2-132] How to initialize an object in a classic way?

[arcticir]

The v2 upcoming beta news is exciting , so I started to learn the new V2 syntax.
But what makes me painful is that I can no longer use objects as before {"&":"b"}, the only solution is map("&","b"). But I think I hate it, I hate a, b, c, d, I like the well-structured a: b, c: d

Objects can still be created literally I think, have you tried it?

Code: Select all

obj := { boo:"rah", tee:"noh" }

msgbox(obj.boo)
msgbox(obj.tee)

I already did it for you. No worries. I think it is now where it is was meant to be, in the v2 help subforum... (originally, it was in 'Scripts and Functions')

and how were u "using objects as before {"&":"b"}"? im not gonna bother firing v1 up, but surely not obj.& which im fairly certain wont even compile - u had to do obj["&"], ie "the Map usage", so just use a map then

I think I hate it

ull learn to love it. if the globalists say this about owning nothing, i think ull manage an exception for a small part of ahk just fine

@post In the original version where obj was divided into arr-map, {"&":1,"&":2} is still feasible.

@gregster Thanks.

@swagfag It seems that it will take me a while to get used to the new grammar.

@arcticir
Also, if you need to iterate through the AHK v2 {obj} then you can use the following loop:

Code: Select all

obj := {item:"value", item2:"value2"}

For prop, val in obj.OwnProps()
	msgbox(prop " = " value)
