After inheriting a codebase, I stumbled upon the following code snippet (with some parameters simplified and anonymized):
/**
* @param {float} num1
* @param {string} str1
* @param {string} str2
* @param {boolean} flag
& @return (object)
*/
srv.pack = function(num1 , str1 , str2 , flag)
{
return angular.extend({} , {
a: num1 ,
e: flag ? str1 : str2 ,
f: flag ? str2 : str1
});
};
Upon reviewing angular.extend documentation, it appears that using angular.extend in this context may be unnecessary. Could this code be simplified by removing it, or is there a subtle detail that I might be missing due to my limited experience with AngularJS?
