new to javascript so this is probably a stupid question. I have some code example below.
what i'm trying to do is use the method i've created which takes a filterType and a filter
and then filter by using those two varaibles. The problem i'm having is that I don't know the correct syntax to use a variable as an identifier (think thats the correct term) ? is this possibile?
function processorFilter(filterType,filter){
var output = '<ul class = "searchresults">';
for(var i = 0; i < processorStock.length; i++){
console.log(processorStock[i].filterType)
if(processorStock[i].vendor == filter){
output += '<ul>';
output += '<h2>' +processorStock[i].name+ '</h2>';
output += '<img src="' + processorStock[i].image + '"/img>';
output += '<p>' + processorStock[i].vendor + '</p>';
output += '<p>' + processorStock[i].series + '</p>';
output += '<p>' + processorStock[i].socket + '</p>';
output += '<p>' + "Stock "+ processorStock[i].stock + '</p>';
output += '<p>' + '\u00A3' + processorStock[i].price + '</p>';
output += '</ul>';
}
}
output += '</ul>';
$('#update').html(output);
}
if(processorStock[i].vendor == filter)
where it says .vendor i want to use a variable so if i then decided I wanted to filter by socket type instead of vendor i could just change the value of the variable rather than write an entirely new method
if(processorStock[i].filterType == filter)
so it would look something like the above except thats obviously the wrong syntax.
