[removed] constant properties

Question

In javascript, can I declare properties of an object to be constant?

Here is an example object:

   var XU = {
      Cc: Components.classes
   };
<         


        

Answer 1

If you are using Javascript 1.5 (in XUL for example), you can use the const keyword instead of var to declare a constant.

The problem is that it cannot be a property of an object. You can try to limit its scope by namespacing it inside a function.

(function(){ 

const XUL_CC = Components.classes;

// Use the constant here

})()
