The project I'm working on has an enormous JS file that I didn't want
to add to. I wanted to access some of the methods defined, so I
created an adapter file that would load "after" (minfied + combined)
the main file.
Here is how the original would look:
var APP = APP || {};
APP = {
stuff : {
doStuff : function(){},
doStuffAgain : function(){}
},
moreStuff : {
doMoreStuff : function(){}
}
};
In order to access it's methods, I returned it as an object like this:
var APP = APP || {};
APP = (function() {
return {
stuff : {
doStuff : function() {
},
doStuffAgain : function() {
}
},
moreStuff : {
doMoreStuff : function() {
}
}
// etc
};
})();
It seems to work fine. I have access to everything I need in my
adapter. However, there were never any tests written, so I'm not 100%
sure EVERYTHING will work.
Are there any obvious downsides in doing something like this?
