Don't make functions within a loop [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• How to fix jslint error 'Don't make functions within a loop.'? 6 answers

What would be the correct way to solve the jslint error in this case? I'm adding a getter function to an object which uses this. I don't know how to do this without creating the function inside the loop.

for (var i = 0; i<processorList.length; ++i) {
   result[i] = {
       processor_: timestampsToDateTime(processorList[i]),
       name_: processorList[i].processorName,
       getLabel: function() { // TODO solve function in loop.
            return this.name_;
       }
   };
}

Answer 1

Move the function outside the loop:

function dummy() {
    return this.name_;
}
// Or: var dummy = function() {return this.name;};
for (var i = 0; i<processorList.length; ++i) {
   result[i] = {
       processor_: timestampsToDateTime(processorList[i]),
       name_: processorList[i].processorName,
       getLabel: dummy
   };
}

... Or just ignore the message by using the loopfunc option at the top of the file:

/*jshint loopfunc:true */
