It's the module pattern because all the variables, functions and constructors he defines are in a new own scope, which makes the odds of collisions diminish (and has the upshot of increasing security). The name makes more sense if you have more of them in the same program. The revealing pattern, by the way, is an object that creates a new function in the constructor and returns a new (but different from `this`) object that exposes only the public methods. - peter -- To view archived discussions from the original JSMentors Mailman list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To search via a non-Google archive, visit here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]
