Closure for data privacy: https://jsbin.com/gareno/edit?html,js,output

data-privacy-example.js

const getSecret = (secret) => {
  return {
    get: () => secret
  };
};

test('Closure for object privacy.', assert => {
  const msg = '.get() should have access to the closure.';
  const expected = 1;
  const obj = getSecret(1);

  const actual = obj.get();

  try {
    assert.ok(secret, 'This throws an error.');
  } catch (e) {
    assert.ok(true, `The secret var is only available
      to privileged methods.`);
  }

  assert.equal(actual, expected, msg);
  assert.end();
});

@ericelliott shoudln't L12 be secret instead of actual?

No, the point is to demonstrate that you can't access secret from outside getSecret().

@ericelliott got it 👍
