I have a module like this:



var myMod = function() {
return {
f_a: function() {}
f_b: function() {}
}
})();


I need to call f_b from f_a, and I do not know what is the best way to do this.

          var myMod = (function() {
          return {
          f_a: function() {console.log('hi from f_a');},
          f_b: function() {this.f_a();}
          }
          })();

          myMod.f_b();





          You can do it like this



          var myMod = (function() {
          return {
          f_a: function() {console.log('hi from f_a');},
          f_b: function() {this.f_a();}
          }
          })();

          myMod.f_b();

          f_a: function() {

          f_b: function() {
          console.log('f_b');
          }
          }
          };

          console.log(myMod().f_a())





          If you want to call f_b from f_b then use this.Actually if you see correctly it this function is returning an object. In javascript inside an object to refer to it's property using this






          var myMod = function() {
          return {
          f_a: function() {

          },
          f_b: function() {
          this.f_a();
          console.log('f_b');
          }
          }

          There is an extra )().It seems you want create an immediately invoking function expression.






          var myMod = function() {
          return {
          f_a: function() {
          console.log('f_a')
          },
          f_b: function() {
          console.log('f_b');
          }
          }
          };

          console.log(myMod().f_a())





          If you want to call f_b from f_b then use this.Actually if you see correctly it this function is returning an object. In javascript inside an object to refer to it's property using this






          var myMod = function() {
          return {
          f_a: function() {
          console.log('f_a')
          },
          f_b: function() {
          this.f_a();
          console.log('f_b');
          }
          }
          };

          console.log(myMod().f_b())
