Using content assist

In this section you will use content assist to finish writing a new method.

  1. Please make sure the VJET file Test.js is opened in your editor area.
  2. Please add a new method setClose() at the end of the props .

    The method is provided in the previous section: Adding New Methods.

  3. You can copy the following lines and insert them into setClose: function() method body. When you type the . after this, Eclipse will show a list of possible completions. Notice how the options are narrowed down as you continue to type. 
    //> public void setClose()
setClose: function() {
    if (!this.getBalance()) {
        vjo.sysout.println("Your account has been CLOSED!");
        this.setOpen(false);
    }
}
