I am trying to return two values in JavaScript. Is this possible?
var newCodes = function() {
var dCodes = fg.codecsCodes.rs;
var dCodes2 = fg.codecsCodes2.rs;
return dCodes, dCodes2;
};
No, but you could return an array containing your values:
function getValues() {
return [getFirstValue(), getSecondValue()];
}
Then you can access them like so:
var values = getValues();
var first = values[0];
var second = values[1];
With the latest ECMAScript 6 syntax*, you can also destructure the return value more intuitively:
const [first, second] = getValues();
If you want to put "labels" on each of the returned values (easier to maintain), you can return an object:
function getValues() {
return {
first: getFirstValue(),
second: getSecondValue(),
};
}
And to access them:
var values = getValues();
var first = values.first;
var second = values.second;
Or with ES6 syntax:
const {first, second} = getValues();
* See this table for browser compatibility. Basically, all modern browsers aside from IE support this syntax, but you can compile ES6 code down to IE-compatible JavaScript at build time with tools like Babel.
