Closure experiments

closure-experiments.js

// weirdness with closures
// Setup: pass an obj to a function, and then another function (in my case apollo server)
// Test: the thing is executed, then I change the object, then execute again. What is the object value passed in?


var mockReqObj = { test: 'jamis' }; 

// Variation 1) 
// appears to use default value in console log (for both)
mockReqObj = { test: 'NBODOy' }; 

// Variation 2)
// appears to use new value in console log (for both) (have to test more to see if it's just the logging delay that's showing it wrong)
mockReqObj.test = 'NBODOy';

// Variation 3) Safest?
// Pass in a function instead of obj that gets the obj when it's needed (I assume this will be most up to date)
