I read this link http://addyosmani.com/largescalejavascript/#modpattern
And I saw the following example.
var basketModule = (function() {
var basket = [];
return {
addItem: function(values) {
basket.push(values);
},
getItemCount: function() {
return basket.length;
},
getTotal: function(){
var q = this.getItemCount(),p=0;
while(q--){
p+= basket[q].price;
}
return p;
}
}
}());
basketModule.addItem({item:'bread',price:0.5});
basketModule.addItem({item:'butter',price:0.3});
console.log(basketModule.getItemCount());
console.log(basketModule.getTotal());
It states that "the module template is a popular design that creates an encapsulation of" privacy ", state, and organization using closures." How is this different from writing as shown below? Is it impossible to ensure privacy through the use of a domain?
var basketModule = function() {
var basket = [];
this.addItem = function(values) {
basket.push(values);
}
this.getItemCount = function() {
return basket.length;
}
this.getTotal = function(){
var q = this.getItemCount(),p=0;
while(q--){
p+= basket[q].price;
}
return p;
}
}
var basket = new basketModule();
basket.addItem({item:'bread',price:0.5});
basket.addItem({item:'butter',price:0.3});
