Call a JavaScript Funtion in jQuery Template

Here, I want to show how to call a javaScript funtion in jQuery template using jQuery tmpl plugin.

For this we need jQuery plugin and jQuery tmpl plugin.

Here, I am checking word 'phone' of json object, if it contains returns true else false. The following is the jquery template.

<li>

${firstName} ${lastName},

my phone no. is <span>${Contact}</span>

my email is <span>${Contact}</span>

</li>

</script>

Here the javascript function is myMethod().

The following is the binding of jquery template and json object.

$("#myTemplate").tmpl(jObj,{

myMethod: function() {

debugger;

var text = this.data["ContactType"];

if (text.toLowerCase().indexOf('phone') > 0) {

return true;

}

else

return false;

}

}).appendTo("#myDiv");

Here, I am fetching ContactType in myMethod,but can get any data calling by name. Json data is:

var jObj = [

{ firstName: "Vijay", lastName: "Babu", ContactType:"Mobile Phone",Contact:"123456789" },

{ firstName: "Yashitha", lastName: "Bhagya", ContactType:"Office Phone",Contact:"08856-23456" },

{ firstName: "Nag", lastName: "Bunny", ContactType:"Office Email",Contact:"[email protected]" },

{ firstName: "kusuma", lastName: "vinitha", ContactType:"Personal Email",Contact:"[email protected]" }

];
