The syntax of JS module

This article is transferred from the Nanyi personal website, only to do the study;

First, the original wording

A module is a set of methods for implementing a specific function.

Simply put the different functions (and the variables that record the state) together, even if it is a module.

1 function M1 () {2  //... 3 }4  function m2 () {5  //... 6 }

The above functions M1 () and M2 () to form a module. When used, call directly on the line.

The disadvantage of this approach is obvious: "Pollute" the global variable, there is no guarantee that the variable name conflicts with other modules, and the module members do not see a direct relationship.

Ii. the wording of the object

In order to solve the above shortcomings, the module can be written as an object, all the module members are placed in this object.

1 var module1 = new Object ({2  _count:0,3  m1:function () {4
   
    //... 
    5 
    },
    6 
     m2:function () {
    7 
     //... 
    8 
    }
    9 });
   

The above functions M1 () and M2 () are encapsulated in the Module1 object. When used, it is called the property of the object.

1 module1.m1 ();

However, such a notation exposes all module members, and the internal state can be overridden externally. For example, external code can directly change the value of an internal counter.

1 module1._count = 5;

Iii. immediate execution of function notation

Using the Execute functions now (immediately-invoked function Expression,iife), you can achieve the purpose of not exposing private members.

1 var module1 = (function () {2 var _count = 0;3 var m1 = function () {4 //...5 };6 var m2 = function () {7 //...8 };9 return {Ten M1:m1, One m2:m2 A }; -})();

Using the notation above, the external code cannot read the internal _count variable.

1 console.info (module1._count); Undefined

Module1 is the basic way of writing JavaScript modules. The following, and then processing the writing.

Four, amplification mode

If a module is large and must be divided into several parts, or if one module needs to inherit another module, then it is necessary to use "magnification mode" (augmentation).

1 var module1 = (function (mod) {2  mod.m3 = function () {3  //... 4 }; 5 return mod; 6 }) (Module1);

The code above adds a new method M3 () to the Module1 module and then returns the new Module1 module.

Five, wide magnification mode (Loose augmentation)

In a browser environment, parts of the module are usually obtained from the web, and sometimes it is not possible to know which part is loaded first. If you use the previous section, the first part of the execution is likely to load a nonexistent empty object, then use the "wide magnification mode".

1 var module1 = (function (mod) {2  //... 3 return mod; 4 }) (Window.module1 | | {});

In contrast to Loupe mode, the wide magnification mode is a parameter that executes function immediately, which can be an empty object.

VI. Input Global Variables

Independence is an important feature of the module and it is best not to interact directly with other parts of the program.

In order to call global variables inside a module, you must explicitly enter other variables into the module.

1 var module1 = (function ($, YAHOO) {2  //... 3 }) (JQuery, YAHOO);

The above Module1 module needs to use the jquery library and Yui Library, the two libraries (actually two modules) as a parameter input module1. In addition to ensuring the independence of the module, it also makes the dependency between modules obvious. For more discussion on this, see Ben Cherry's famous article, "JavaScript Module pattern:in-depth."
