@toggledbits said in Feature request on reactions side.:
whereas buttonCodes[ . ] and buttonCodes["x"] simply make no sense.
These are actually OK if buttonCodes is an object, not an array. You can use the square-bracket notation same as dot member access, so buttonCodes[ "x" ] (note the quotes so it's a string) is the same as buttonCodes.x. Using the square bracket notation lets you use a variable for the member name. You don't need a second array, you just need to structure buttonCodes correctly...
buttonCodes = { '0': 'codes for 0', '1': 'codes for 1', '.': 'codes for dot' }
key_to_send = "." # or whatever/however you get the key
send_data = buttonCodes[ key_to_send ]
I ended up using this method and it works great!
Thanks for all the help.
