Hi,

Is there any way to create an instance of an object given the class name as a string? Like:

var className = "myClass";
var myObject = new(className, ...);

Does anybody know any trick or workaround to make this work?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Gambetti

I don't think this is possible as the 'className' is a class nomenclature held by the interpreter/compiler and endemic to the actual code. There might be a trick to have text inserted into the code (as meta-code) but it would be precarious for certain.

Oh yes, of course, what a silly idea. I'm used to do this in interpreted languages like PHP, but of course this can't work with COFFEE.
