Passing parameters to initialize function

Question

For custom object, there this call:

custom.setInitializer(Movie, Movie.prototype.initialize);

and Movie.prototype.initialize handler takes two parameters name, director

Where or how do these parameters get passed to initialize function?

Those arguments will probably be passed to the `Movie.prototype.initialize` function somewhere inside the `setInitializer` function. — basilikum, Jul 29 '13 at 15:57
actually this line is probably where it's happening: `var field = model.create(rtpg.custom.Movie, start.name, start.director);` — basilikum, Jul 29 '13 at 16:03
Yes, it looks like create function also defines arguments for initialize function. https://developers.google.com/drive/realtime/reference/gapi.drive.realtime.Model#gapi.drive.realtime.Model.prototype.create `* var_args — Arguments to the newly-created object's initialize() method.` — dev.e.loper, Jul 29 '13 at 16:08

create function is the one that specifies arguments for initialize function. See definition here

Thank you @basilikum for the tip.
