It would be great if a menu could have a base scope and handler such that I could do this:


{
text: 'SubMenu',
menu:
{
items: [
{
text: 'One',
privateArg: 1
},
{
text: 'Two',
privateArg: 13
},
{
text: 'Hello',
privateArg: 12
},
{
text: 'Not',
privateArg: 11
},
{
text: 'Other',
privateArg: 2
}
],
scope:someObj,
handler:someObj.fn
}
}

instead of this:


{
text: 'SubMenu',
menu:
{
items: [
{
text: 'One',
privateArg: 1,
scope:someObj,
handler:someObj.fn
},
{
text: 'Two',
privateArg: 13,
scope:someObj,
handler:someObj.fn
},
{
text: 'Hello',
privateArg: 12,
scope:someObj,
handler:someObj.fn
},
{
text: 'Not',
privateArg: 11,
scope:someObj,
handler:someObj.fn
},
{
text: 'Other',
privateArg: 2,
scope:someObj,
handler:someObj.fn
}
]
}
}

I agree...this would be very useful. You could then use the item handler to override the main handler if one item needed to be different.

Each menu is independent of others. Why not instead use the flexibility of JS and just create an internal function? It ends up even shorter in the end.


function item(text, arg){
return {
text: text,
privateArg: arg,
scope:someObj, // via closure
handler: someObj.fn
};
}

Then:


....
items: [
item('One', 1),
item('Hello', 13),
item('Not', 12),
item('Other', 11)
]

I'm terrible at typing so shortcuts are a must! ;)

I had ended up with something like items.each(function(item){}(item.scope=obj;...

But now I see there are much better ways!
