Hi everyone,
I've been fiddling around with different ways of creating objects and I'm
having some growing pains in leaning the situations where one way would be
better than another.
I'm seeing that when I use the immediately invoked way:
var Class = (function(){
this.activate = function() {
console.log('activate called');
};
this.deactivate = function() {
console.log('deactivate called');
};
return function(){
this.brian= function() {console.log("Brian wuz here.");};
this.kayla= function() {console.log("Kayla wuz here.");};
}
})();
I can access "activate" and "deactivate" from the console directly. Does this
mean that those functions are global now? Is that a problem?
I can access "brian" and "kayla" by saying:
myClass = new Class()
myClass.brian();
myClass.kayla();
So that constructor way of instantiating seems like a more
traditional/classical way of writing it.
Writing non immediately invoked functions creates a different situation...
I guess I'm just wondering if there's a recent book or something that goes over
all of these differences in detail, and when they should be used?
Thanks for the help and a great group!
Brian
