jQuery isFunction check error "function is not defined"
JqueryFunctionJquery Problem Overview
I want to do a check whether a function exist or not before trying to run it. Here is my code:
if ($.isFunction(myfunc())) {
console.log("function exist, run it!!!");
}
However, when the function is not available I got the error: > myfunc is not defined
How can I do the detection? Here is my working test: http://jsfiddle.net/3m3Y3/

Solution 1 - Jquery
By putting ()
after the function name, you're actually trying to run it right there in your first line.
Instead, you should just use the function name without running it:
if ($.isFunction(myfunc)) {
However - If myfunc
is not a function and is not any other defined variable, this will still return an error, although a different one. Something like myfunc is not defined
.
You should check that the name exists, and then check that it's a function, like this:
if (typeof myfunc !== 'undefined' && $.isFunction(myfunc)) {

Solution 2 - Jquery
try this
if(typeof myfunc == 'function'){
alert("exist");
}else{
alert("not exist");
}
