Object value calls a function, but all the values for the function trigger when importing object-CodePudding

I have an issue where I'm importing an object into another file. Object looks like:

export const MyObject = { 
      value1: mergeObject({object of data}),
      value2: mergeObject({object of data}),
      ...
};

The object values call a function where I'm merging two objects. The issue is that when I'm importing MyObject to another file and I'm attempting to access a single value all of the functions for each value fire off.

I anticipated just being able to import the object like normal and access the values like MyObject.value1, but the function was being called for every value of the object.

CodePudding user response：

Because that's exactly what this syntax does:

{
  value1: mergeObject({object of data}),
  value2: mergeObject({object of data})
}

To build this object literal, it is evaluating the expressions for its properties. It sounds like you want those properties to be functions, not values. Something like this:

{
  value1: () => mergeObject({object of data}),
  value2: () => mergeObject({object of data})
}

And then you'd invoke the function when you want to use it:

MyObject.value1()
