Ok so this is the way i have it constructed... SoapClient is my module and I want it to be used as a singleton, i.e. if it is initialized, it just returns the connection, or SoapClient.instance...
var SoapClient = function() { > var soap = require('soap'); > this.init = function (){ > var url = "http://172.31.19.39/MgmtServer.wsdl"; > var endPoint = "https://172.31.19.39:9088"; > var options = {}; > options.endpoint = endPoint; > soap.createClient(url, options, function(err, result) { > if (err) { > console.log('soap client create failed ' + err); > return; > } > console.log('init is called ready'); > SoapClient.instance = result; > SoapClient.instance.setSecurity(new soap.BasicAuthSecurity( > 'admin-priv', 'password')); > }); > }; > }; > SoapClient.getInstance = function () { > if (SoapClient.instance) { > return SoapClient.instance; > } > new SoapClient().init(); > return SoapClient.instance; > }; > SoapClient.instance = null; > module.exports = SoapClient; Thoughts On Thursday, November 21, 2013 8:34:14 AM UTC-8, Reza Razavipour wrote: > > this I get the jist of the conversation but my Javascript skills, less > than 2 months, does not allow me to be able to code this up. > Also, as a starter in the new language the last thing I want to do is to > miss out on the language correct way of things and force lets say the Java > way of doing things in JS. > > Can you show me a skeleton of such function and a tiny consumer of that? > The reason I say that is the fact that all of the examples are all done in > the same JS file and not setup as module and when I try to change to a > module and a consumer, I run into syntax problems and .... > > I do not understand the difference between a class exporting an object as > opposed to a constructor > > > Thank you so much for showing me the correct way > On Thursday, November 21, 2013 7:37:32 AM UTC-8, Kamil Leszczuk wrote: >> >> Aah, nevermind then, I misunerstood ;) >> 21 lis 2013 16:36 "Gregg Caines" <gr...@caines.ca> napisaĆ(a): >> >>> Yeah... that's what I'm saying :) >>> >>> G >>> >>> >>> On Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 7:33 AM, Kamil Leszczuk <kami...@gmail.com>wrote: >>> >>>> > For example, if I have a module for emailing with a send() method on >>>> it, I don't have it export a constructor; I have it export an object. >>>> That >>>> object might maintain some state or it might not.
