I'm trying to transtate this Javascript function to C# method.
parametrize = (obj, join = false) ->
arrayOfArrays = _.pairs(obj).sort()
symbol = if join then '&' else ''
sortedParams = ''
_.each arrayOfArrays, (value) ->
sortedParams += "#{_.first(value)}=#{_.last(value)}" + symbol
return sortedParams
This functions is written base on these scenarios.
I would like to write this function in C# and because of lack of understanding of what javascript does. If anyone could help me explaining what Javascript functions do for example would be awesome.
Thank you :)
So, in terms of understanding the JavaScript, the method just combines an object containing key-value pairs and combines them into a single string with either a space between or an ampersand. I'm assuming this method is used to send parameters with a get or post request, or with spaces for command line arguments.
// method that accepts an object and a join boolean (false by default)
parametrize = (obj, join = false) ->
// sort the obects and store as an array
arrayOfArrays = _.pairs(obj).sort()
// decide which join character to use
symbol = if join then '&' else ''
// Create the variable to return
sortedParams = ''
// loop through each of the array rows
_.each arrayOfArrays, (value) ->
// add each row into the string and add the joining symbol
sortedParams += "#{_.first(value)}=#{_.last(value)}" + symbol
// Once complete, return the created string
return sortedParams
As for the c# side of things, this is all fairly rudimentary stuff. A quick google on loops, strings (including concatenation) and methods will sort you out.
