Excerpt

Indicates a global was added by a script using the Define API.

 

Notes

A define with state Define.ADDED was originally missing, but has since been added using Define().

Added defines are immutable.

Note: If the define wasn't originally missing, the new define would have a state of Define.REPLACED.

Examples

Code Block
themeRDark
languagejavascript
titleChecking a specific state
linenumberstrue
// always use strict equality checks
if (Define.stateOf("chat") === Define.ADDED) {
	// native chat function was missing, but was added by script
}
Code Block
themeRDark
languagejavascript
titleUsing a switch statement to check state
linenumberstrue
// when using switch, order of cases is vitally important
switch (Define("chat")) {
	case Define.MISSING : return "chat() is missing";
	case Define.REMOVED : return "chat() was removed by script";
	case Define.ADDED   : return "chat() was added by script";
	case Define.REPLACED: return "chat() was overridden by script";
	case Define.NATIVE  : return "chat() function is native";
	default: return "Status of chat() is unknown";
