Javascript OOP return value from function

Question

I have javascript object defined like this:

function SocialMiner() 
{


var verbose=true;

var profileArray=new Array();

var tabUrl;

this.getTabUrl=function()
         


        

Answer 1

In the second example, you are calling logToConsole as if it is a function of the miner object, which is is not.

miner.logToConsole

Edit

Per comments about github example, this should make the logToConsole function par of the SocialMiner object. However, I didn't read the class thoroughly, so proceed with caution with regards to how it is intended to be used.

this.logToConsole=function(text) 
{
    if (verbose)
        console.log(text);
}

Answer 2

It appears that logToConsole is defined somewhere globally; in any case, it is not a member of our SocialMiner class. Try this:

var pageUrl=miner.getTabUrl();
logToConsole(pageUrl);
