Question

This is basically the framework of my code:

var firstfunction = function () {
    function innerfunction () {
        // Do stuff here
    }
}

How do I reference innerfunction(), without changing the code mentioned supra?

Answer 1

If you want to expose innerFunction as an API you could do the following:

var firstFunction = function () {
  var imPrivate = "foo"
  var innerFunction = function () {
    // do stuff
  }

  return {
    innerFunction : innerFunction
  }
}

firstFunction.innerFunction()

This would also let you create private methods, variables as well.
