Is this proper javascript for making a namespace that encapsulates various methods into different objects? -

var namespaced = {     a: function(){         function r(){             //do stuff             return something;         }          var someproperty = 5;               function j(){             //do more stuff             return something;         }          },      b: function(){            //can call , c?         a.r();         c.d();     },      c: function(){         function d() {             //do stuff         }         } } 

then do...

namespaced.a.j();  namespaced.c.d();  = namespaced.a.someproperty; 

right?

would need too?

var = new namespaced.a()? 

if a() have constructor? i'm confused here :{

i'm trying encapsulate javascript it's easy maintain

then do...

namespaced.a.j(); namespaced.c.d(); = namespaced.a.someproperty; 

no couldn't. function j , someproperty local a , not propagated outside. if want access them outside, have make them property of function, using this:

var namespaced = {     a: function(){         this.r = function(){             //do stuff             return something;         };          this.someproperty = 5;               this.j = function(){             //do more stuff             return something;         };     } } 

but still need call var = new namespaced.a() in order access functions.

if want call namespaced.a.j() directly, have declare a object, not function:

var namespaced = {     a: {         r: function(){             //do stuff             return something;         },          someproperty: 5,               j: function(){             //do more stuff             return something;         }          } } 

so depends on want achieve eventually... better insight these methods, recommend javascript patterns.
