Ruby to JSON - how to store javascript functions

ruby-talk
1

Hey guys,

I am working on a small plug-in which stores settings in a yaml file, e.g.:

···

---
:before: var lastsel2;
:params:
   :url: http://www.google.com
   :datatype: xml
   :mtype: GET

etc., then later turning them into js with something like

params.each do |key,value|
   emit "#{key}: #{value.to_json}
end

so far so good. My question is, what should I put in the place of ???

:params:
   :some_func: ???

so that the Ruby code above spits out this:

some_func: function(id) {
     do_some_stuff
     do_something_else
   }

I hope it's clear :slight_smile: Obviously I'd like to store the function params and body as well.
Is there a (semi-)standard way of doing this? I thought of representing the js function with some custom class, storing the param list and body as strings. Am I completely off?

Cheers,
Peter
