Variables as properties of functions

by SSRRDD

JavaScript

// (the wrapper-binder is only necessary for using variables-properties via "this" instead of the function's name)
var functionAsImplicitObjectBody = function()
{
    function someNestedFunction()
    {
        var redefinableVariable = "redefinableVariable's value from someNestedFunction";
        console.log('--> functionAsImplicitObjectBody.variableAsProperty: ', functionAsImplicitObjectBody.variableAsProperty);
        console.log('--> redefinableVariable: ', redefinableVariable);
    }
    var redefinableVariable = "redefinableVariable's value from someFunctionBody";
    console.log('this.variableAsProperty: ', this.variableAsProperty);
    console.log('functionAsImplicitObjectBody.variableAsProperty: ', functionAsImplicitObjectBody.variableAsProperty);
    console.log('redefinableVariable: ', redefinableVariable);
    someNestedFunction();
},
    functionAsImplicitObject = functionAsImplicitObjectBody.bind(functionAsImplicitObjectBody);
functionAsImplicitObjectBody.variableAsProperty = "variableAsProperty's value, set at time stamp: " + (new Date()).getTime();
functionAsImplicitObject();




// (spread-like operator "..." provides passing of any number of arguments to the target internal "func" function in as many steps as necessary)
var functionAsExplicitObject = function(...arguments)
    {
        var functionAsExplicitObjectBody = {
            variableAsProperty: "variableAsProperty's value",
            func: function(argument1, argument2)
            {
                function someNestedFunction()
                {
                    console.log('--> functionAsExplicitObjectBody.variableAsProperty: ', functionAsExplicitObjectBody.variableAsProperty);
                }
                console.log("argument1: ", argument1);
                console.log("argument2: ", argument2);
                console.log("this.variableAsProperty: ", this.variableAsProperty);
                someNestedFunction();
            }    
        };
        return...
