Pass a JavaScript hash as parameter to a jQuery function

Question

I thought it would be handy if I define my function, so that I can pass hashes to it. With the idea that later on when I extend my code I can easily pass more variables without having to change my other code that also executing this code.

Now I made an example, but somehow it won't work:

function test(data){
 if(data.id){
 $('body').append($('<p/>',{text: "hallo"});
 }
};
test({id: 5, text: 4});

What do I do wrong? And is this the right way to avoid cohesion in my code?

• adeneo: You're missing a parenthesis, open the console.

You might not like this answer but you're missing a ")"

$('body').append($('<p/>',{text: "hallo"})); <--- notice
