This would be so clean as a when statement though... Unless I'm not reading it right, which is totally possible.

[adam-mcneilly]

val focusedInput = when(Object.keys(error)) {
	"phonebookId", "phonebook_str", "message", "image", "buttonLink", "messageSms" -> Object.keys(error)
	else -> "false"
}

[fred.deschenes]

I don't even think you'd need a "when", but tbh I'm not even sure wtf this is supposed to be doing

[adam-mcneilly]

Exactly why it's possible I'm not reading it right haha

[fred.deschenes]

I'm pretty sure it always ends up doing false.shift() as Object.keys returns an array which should (at least in a sane language) never equal any of those strings

[adam-mcneilly]

I don't know enough JS apparently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[fred.deschenes]

oh actually it's just Object.keys(error).shift()

[fred.deschenes]

me neither, and I'm glad I don't 😛

[fred.deschenes]

just having some PTSD of my ActionScript 2.0 days

[jmfayard]

according to my javascript console, this resolves to true
Object.keys({"hello" : true}) == "hello"

[fred.deschenes]

well that's horrifying

[jmfayard]

that's the fun part with javascript, you never know wether something basic works until you try

[fred.deschenes]

["hello"] == "hello" > true

[adam-mcneilly]

Reason number one why I hate dynamically typed languages: Can you tell me the type of focusedInput? Is it String or Boolean?

[fred.deschenes]

it's an array 😛

[fred.deschenes]

or false

[adam-mcneilly]

So, is it an array or boolean? Yes.

[fred.deschenes]

Shrödinger's variables

[jmfayard]

so in the end it's either Object.keys(error).shift() or an exception, because false.shift() don't work, even in javascript

[adam-mcneilly]

The fact that you can write this code gives me anxiety. It takes a special person to work with dynamically typed languages.

[jmfayard]

yes, masochists
