Overview of this book

Programming in the modular manner is always encouraged for bigger systems—it is easier to achieve scalability with modular programming. Even JavaScript developers are now interested in building programs in a modular pattern. Modules help people who aren’t yet familiar with code to find what they are looking for and also makes it easier for programmers to keep things that are related close together. Designing and implementing applications in a modular manner is highly encouraged and desirable in both simple and enterprise level applications. This book covers some real-life examples of modules and how we can translate that into our world of programming and application design. After getting an overview of JavaScript object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts and their practical usage, you should be able to write your own object definitions using the module pattern. You will then learn to design and augment modules and will explore the concepts of cloning, inheritance, sub-modules, and code extensibility. You will also learn about SandBoxing, application design, and architecture based on modular design concepts. Become familiar with AMD and CommonJS utilities. By the end of the book, you will be able to build spectacular modular applications in JavaScript.

Module pattern

In the previous chapter, we had a look at how we can create private variables and namespaces inside functions. We also explored how private scopes can be implemented. Some concepts related to private scopes can also be applied to singleton objects residing inside functions.

A singleton object is an object there will only ever be one instance of it in the application. Singleton objects can be created using object literal notation, which we saw examples of in the previous chapter.

Consider the following object definition:

var mySingletonObj = {};

While the preceding object does not do anything, it is in fact a valid object and there can only be one instance of this object as we cannot create other objects based on mySingletonObj.

Let's add some value properties and methods (method properties) to this object and see how we can access such properties outside of the object definition:

var mySingletonObj = {
  
  name: "Sasan",
  
  title: "Software Developer&quot...
