The new Uize.pairUp static method, implemented in the Uize base class, returns an object that is the specified key and value, paired up together in the same object.

EXAMPLE

Uize.pairUp ('foo','bar');  // returns the object {foo:'bar'}
Uize.pairUp (0,'zero');     // returns the object {0:'zero'}
Uize.pairUp (1,true);       // returns the object {1:true}

The Uize.pairUp method is useful when an object needs to be created from a key/value pair, where the key name is either dynamically generated in an expression or is supplied via a parameter. Using the Uize.pairUp method can collapse three statements into a single statement, as follows...

INSTEAD OF

var object = {};
object [key] = value;
doSomethingWithAnObject (object);

USE...

doSomethingWithAnObject (Uize.pairUp (key,value));
