How to overload operator equality for JavaScript objects
You can't overload ==
, but ==
has an implicit .toString()
call, so whatever .toString()
returns will allow you to effectively overload ==
(kinda):
function foo(){}
foo.prototype.toString = function(){ return 42; }
var x = new foo();
x == 42; // true
As for how to do this in Dojo, I don't use Dojo, sorry, but the gist is that you get a reference to whatever object is creates and add thatObject.prototype.toString
as in my example.
You can't. JavaScript doesn't support operator overloading.
You can't in Javascript/ECMAscript. You can overload operators in ExtendScript from Adobe. See this example. Also see this blog entry (pro), or this (contra).
