A simple example of the facade pattern

facade-pattern-example-2.js

var MyModule = ( function( window, undefined ) {

  // revealing module pattern ftw
  function MyModule() {
    
    function someMethod() {
      alert( 'some method' );
    }
    
    function someOtherMethod() {
      alert( 'some other method' );
    }
    
    // expose publicly available methods
    return {
      
      // in our normal revealing module pattern, we'd do the following:
      someMethod : someMethod,
      
      // in the facade pattern, we mask the internals so no one has direct access by doing this:
      someMethod : function() {
        someMethod();
      }
      
    };
    
  }
  
} )( window );

Example call? Shouldn’t MyModule return something?
