Passing enum to function not working

I'm trying to pass an enum to a function, but keep getting an 'undefined' error.

If I try this:

var myVar = new myFunc('{ first:1, second:2 }')

and then

    function myFunc(enum) {
    var myEnum = enum;
    }

I find that myEnum is defined as { first:1, second:2 } but myEnum.second is undefined.

If I hard-code the same values directly into the myEnum = it works.

I also tried putting the braces on the myEnum = line instead, but no change.

What am I doing wrong? Have I simply passed a string to myEnum?

If so, how can I ensure that myEnum is indeed an enum?

here you are using string as you have bounded the object inside quotes '

var myVar = new myFunc('{ first:1, second:2 }')

myEnum.second means you are trying to access the the second property of the myEnum referrenced object, which is not, as you have used quotes ' around

use

var myVar = new myFunc({ first:1, second:2 })
