Immediately-invoked function expression unnamed function immediately invoked after it's been defined.
Object is described as a set of comma-separated name/value pairs enclosed in curly braces ({}) Both private and public encapsulation for classes.
We're able to include both public/private methods and variables inside a single object.
Privacy; Protecting pieces from ending up into the global scope. Difference from IFFE is that it returns an object instead of a function. Function scope to simulate private and global scope.
Return object inside module so you can interact with the object.
var basketModule = (function () {
return {
addItem: function( values ) {
basket.push(values);
},
};
})();
basketModule.addItem
*Namespaces can be considered a logical grouping of units of code under a unique identifier. *
- Avoid collision between global namespaces.
- Single Global Variables; Primary object of reference.
- Prefix namespacing; define things after a prefix. Results in many global objects.
- Object Literal notation; Object containing a collection of key:value pairs with a colon separating each pair of keys and values where keys can also represent new namespaces.
