Reset Instances - adammcarth/instance.js GitHub Wiki

Instances can be reset, or cleared.

• Reset: .reset(); - The Instance reverts back to it's default values.
• Cleared: .clear(); - The Instance clears everything including default values.

For the purpose of this guide, we'll pretend we already have an instance stored in a variable called Comment. It has some parameters, too:

var Comment = new Instance({
   defaults: {
      subscriber: false,
      mailing_list: false
   }
});

// Add some stuff
Comment.add({
   name: "Adam",
   body: "Instance is pretty cool.",
   reply_to: "Favourite javascripts?"
});

// What does our Comment look like
console.log(Comment.get());
// => { subscriber: false, mailing_list: false, name: "Adam", body: "Instance is pretty cool.", reply_to: "Favourtie javascripts?" }

Now check out the effect each of the methods has on the Comment Instance...

Comment.reset();

console.log(Comment.get());
// => { subscriber: false, mailing_list: false }

Comment.clear();

console.log(Comment.get());
// => {}
