Namespacing technique in JavaScript, recommended? performant? issues to be aware of?
- by Bjartr
In a project I am working on I am structuring my code as follows
MyLib = {
AField:0,
ASubNamespace:{
AnotherField:"value",
AClass:function(param) {
this.classField = param;
this.classFunction = function(){
// stuff
}
}
},
AnotherClass:function(param) {
this.classField = param;
this.classFunction = function(){
// stuff
}
}
}
and so on like that to do stuff like:
var anInstance = new MyLib.ASubNamespace.AClass("A parameter.");
Is this the right way to go about achieving namespacing? Are there performance hits, and if so, how drastic? Do performance degradations stack as I nest deeper? Are there any other issues I should be aware of when using this structure?
I care about every little bit of performance because it's a library for realtime graphics, so I'm taking any overhead very seriously.
