The simplest option:

JavaScript

var Game = function(settings) {
    ... 

    this.quitGame = function(settings) {
        ...
    }
};

var settings = "blablah";
var game = new Game(settings);
...
game.quitGame(settings);

Get image extension

Is there a way to get the extension of an image if you know it's link? At first I thought of splitting the string with . and get the last part, but the problem with this is that there are some links that don't include the extension at the end so this is not an universal solution.
Because I know the link each time, is there something I can do with an image object (new Image), or how else can I get the extension? All the results I got were to check if it is an image but not it's extension, or the one I explained above, but that won't work in every scenarios.

This will be done in a extension for Firefox.

mebbe something like...

file = url.split('/').pop();

Unfortunately like I said, there are some website where the file name and the extensions is not included into the link, so there is nothing to split to get them.

But even then, if you use the built-in "Save Image As...", the browser still knows what those are, so there has to be a way to do it.

The browser doesn't use the image extension; it uses the MIME-type, which is supplied in the Content-Type header.

To read this from Javascript, either the image will need to be on the same domain as your page, or the remote domain will need to set the CORS headers to allow your site to request the image.

Because this will not work in Javascrip with all websites which we actually need, in what other language can it be done?
I do apologies, web applications is not what I normally do, but this time I have to do it and learn for the future, maybe I'll run into something similar.

You'd have to write something on the server - eg: ASP.NET, PHP, etc. Basically, any server-side language that can make a HEAD request and read the headers from the response.

For example, in C#:

public static async Task<string> GetContentType(HttpClient client, string url)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(url)) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(url));
    if (!Uri.TryCreate(url, UriKind.Absolute, out var uri)) throw new ArgumentException("Invalid URL", nameof(url));
    
    using (var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Head, uri))
    using (var response = await client.SendAsync(request, HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead))
    {
        response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
        return response.Content.Headers.ContentType.MediaType;
    }
}

We don't have any control over the server, this is goin to be done in a extension for Firefox. We added a new contextMenu for images only, and from that we can get the Url, but as I said in the first thread there are some websites that don't add the name and the extension directly into the link (example.com/image.jpg / example.com/someImage), so we need to find another way to get them when the user right click's on it.

Once again, there may not be an image extension. You will have to use the content type.

It looks like it is possible to request extra permissions to your extension to bypass CORS restrictions for certain domains:
permissions - Mozilla | MDN[^]

But it may be easier to intercept the network requests from your extension:
Intercept HTTP requests - Mozilla | MDN[^]

I'll try this and see if I manage to make something using it. I first thought this whole thing will be something easy. Smile | :)

Hello all,

I would like to ask you for a help. I would like make a function for add a class. For interactive map. It means there will be a few segments and ONCLICK will be ADD CLASS.

I used this code:

JavaScript

function myFunction() {
    document.getElementById("praha").className = "show";
  }

It works, but only for 1st segment.

I would like to use something like OR. I tried this:

JavaScript

function myFunction() {
    document.getElementById("praha").className = "show"; ||
    document.getElementById("stredniCechy").className = "show";
  }

JavaScript

function myFunction() {
    document.getElementById("praha"||"stredniCechy").className = "show"; 
  }

But both of them doesnt works... Could someone give me an advice and help me with it Smile | :)

?
Many thanks

JSMAN - JavaScript Map alternative notation

29-Oct-20 10:41

Those statements do not make sense, as there is no condition test. You first need to add a test to decid which one is required, somthing like:

JavaScript

eltname = (<condition test goes here>) ? "praha" : "stredniCechy";
document.getElementById(eltname).className = "show";

The condition test is whatever you use to decide which name to use.

Hi, I've created a small library for declaring Maps, WeakMaps or maps-like arrays. Maybe someone will find it useful.

find low distance from two matrices

This alghoritm i want to use to create shape for cnc foam cutter ... so a one line need to pass all countour paths

for example:

i have 4 path with x,y points coordonates

path1=[[5,3][3,2][8,9][8,8][7,3]]

path2=[[1,9][8,4][3,6]]

path3=[[8,3][4,7][1,2][2,7][4,2][7,5]]

path4=[[4,3][1,7][9,7][8,0]]

Alghoritm need to find in primis a most low value apropriate to 0 in this case [1,2] that is in path3 point 3

After find this point...compare all points of path3 with points of all paths and find most appropiate value ... in this case [8,4] from path2 that is closest to [8,2] from path3

after find most apropiate value ...join the path3 with path 2 in pointers find

result_path=[[0,0]->[1,2][2,7][4,2][7,5]->[8,3]->[8,4][3,6]->[1,9]->[4,7]]

And after join path2 with path3 in this mode ... compare all points of result_path with points of remainder paths (path1,path4) ... and insert path find in result_path in same mode

I dont know how explain better!

Is this a Javascript question or are you just looking for a generic algorithm? If the latter then please use the correct forum at Algorithms Discussion Boards[^].
