Namespace JS

The easy way to create a namespace in javascript context

Without namespace:

var badPublic = 'its bad public variable';
function MyClass(){
    this.myMethod = function(){
        alert('Hello world!');
    }
}

With namespace:

namespace('my.package1', function(){
    // not bad
    var badPublic = 'its bad public variable';

    // the same class
    function MyClass(){
        this.myMethod = function(){
            alert('Hello world!');
        }
    }

    // turn public MyClass
    return { MyClass: MyClass };
});

As you can see its easy to put old code inside a namespace.

// import like java
var MyClass = my.package1.MyClass;
    
var myClass = new MyClass();
myClass.myMethod();

Other syntax

namespace('my.pack1', {
    MyClass: {
        myMethod: function(){
            alert('Hello world');
        }
    }
});
