Getting function object arguments

So for example I call my "test" function like this:

test({test1:'blah1',test2:'blah2'});

How am i able to get all these variables that could be endless?

The standard way i know which is:
test('blah1','blah2');
and with this you can use the arguments object to get them.

But how am i able to get the names and values such as my 1st example?

Thanks.

 

Interesting question. I had a look and found this page (openjs.com/articles/optional_function_arguments.php) that includes an example of iterating optional arguments through associative arrays.

function person(options) {
	var default_args = {
		'name'	:	"Binny V A",
		'me'	:	true,
		'site'	:	"http://www.bin-co.com/",
		'species':	"Homo Sapien"
	}
	for(var index in default_args) {
		if(typeof options[index] == "undefined") options[index] = default_args[index];
	}
	
	/* options[] has all the data - user provided and optional */
	for(var i in options) {
		alert(i + " = " + options[i]);
	}
}
person({
		'name'	:	"George W. Bush",
		'me'	:	false,
		'site'	:	"miserable failure"
	});
