Question

Im creating a new library for a company. The structure I follow is

    (function() {
            var lib = function() {
                    //some private and public fn definitions

                    //setting publically avbl functions
                    return {
                    func1 : func1, func2: func2
                    };
            };
            return (window.lib = lib);
    })();

Now how I call this is

    lib.func1();

I want to be able to call my library as

    lib(function | string | object).someproperty

How do I convert my code. Tried something like this

    function lib() {
            return new arguments.callee(arguments);
    }

    lib.prototype={
            publicfunc: function() {
            }
    }

In this i’m having some problems accessing private functions since it is out of the scope for the public functions defined in the lib’s prototype.

Answer 1

var lib = (function (param) {

   var func = function () {
     /// your code

     return {
         animate : function () {
          // do the animation
          return this;
     }
   }

   return func;
})();

this can be the basic fprmat.

ok here is how i can be used.

lib(function() {...});

or

lib(selectItem).animate();

because i returned this i can run another method if there is any.

lib(selectItem).animate().animate().animate().animate() ....;

i hope you can find a use of this format, of course i made it very basic
