i have a function and i want to return the Event-id and End-Time but on console.log it returns undefined here is my code:

function Get_Event_Id() {

    return
    {
        EventId: 3
        EndTime: '2014-04-24T11:00:00'
    }
}

var test = GetEventId();
console.log(test);

Answer 1

You can return an object.

var Get_Event_Id = function() {     
    return {
        EventId: 3,
        EndTime: '2014-04-24T11:00:00'
    }
};
var test = Get_Event_Id();
console.log(test.EventId);

Answer 2

The problem is your object is on a new line, that won't work, and the function names must be the same, and you're missing a comma after 3

do this

function GetEventId() {

    return {
        EventId: 3,
        EndTime: '2014-04-24T11:00:00'
    }
}

var test = GetEventId();
console.log(test);

Next time before turning to Stack Overflow as your first and only option go to http://jsfiddle.net and paste your code in the Javascript box, then click on JSLint in the top bar and it will tell you any syntax errors you have

Answer 3

You can return an array instead:

function Get_Event_Id() {  
    var EventId = '3'; // Linked ICDs  
    var EndTime = '2014-04-24T11:00:00';
    return [EventId, EndTime];  
};

var test = Get_Event_Id();
console.log(test); // ["3", "2014-04-24T11:00:00"]
