Smart Technique in Implementing Objects

Developing an Ajax based application is impossible without objects. As Ajax and JavaScript based applications are data intensive, objects dictate how the application will behave. Through objects, the data implemented in the application will be properly categorized so that the right functions will be implemented in the data.

But even though objects have important roles in the application, implementing them is quite a challenge. Developers might have some trouble remembering how the objects are ordered which could cause problems when implementing functions related to objects. The application could slow down or the function will extract the wrong data.

A good technique used by many developers to prevent data loss through objects is to allow objects as parameters. Instead of simply listing them in one line, developers can use the behavior of parameters in order to remember each object. The application will also read the objects one at a time which means the order of implementation in functions is assured.

At first glance, this solution is a little bit awkward. Objects should be implemented as expected and allowing them to be implemented as parameters will require extra work for developers. But there is a distinct advantage developers can get in using parameters. JavaScript engine is usually faster in reading parameters compared to objects.

Accuracy is also assured since each parameter is implemented by line instead of writing the variety of objects in only one line. The JavaScript engine is not necessarily a strict engine wherein it will require every function in JavaScript to behave as expected. Tweaking is possible in JavaScript which makes it easy for developers to find a workaround to ensure optimized application.

For example, your objects are usually implemented in this manner:

insterData(city,country,continent)

This type of implementation is very easy but if you expand the objects to more than 10, you'll have a hard time remembering the objects.

When the object is implemented as parameter it will look like this:

insterData(parameters) {
var city = parameters.city;
var country = parameters.country;
var continent = parameters.continent;
}

The JavaScript engine will read the objects as parameters in order. Each will be regarded as separate parameters. However, if you want them to become a single entity, you need to add another line that will inform the engine that the statuses of the parameters are single entity.

The challenging part in this technique is that you'll be required with extra functions to implement the parameters as objects. Remember that you have just implemented your objects as parameters so you have to call them with another function so that you'll be able to properly use the object. But calling the objects is relatively simple since you'll simply pair the entered data with the parameters you created.

The only downside of this function is that you have to implement the object as parameter in every data entered in the application. Your application will practically balloon with extra lines if there is massive data in the application. But if you're dealing with small amount of data, this trick in Ajax or JavaScript application will improve the behavior of the application.
