Discussion on: Revealing Module Pattern in Javascript

[peerreynders]

... come to think of it, as there is no reliance on this, the return value doesn't have to be an object anymore.

const initialValue = 0;
const valueTuple = (function (init) {
  let val = init;

  const getValue = () => val;
  const setValue = (newVal) => {
    val = newVal;
  };

  return [getValue, setValue];
})(initialValue);

const [current, set] = valueTuple;
console.assert(current() === initialValue, 'initialization failed');
set(1);
console.assert(current() === 1, 'set to 1 failed');
set(3);
console.assert(current() === 3, 'set to 3 failed');

Though perhaps now we aren't revealing a "module" anymore.
