In this lesson, we will condense our code into an object and move it into a unique namespace protecting it from mistaken overrides. Within we will meet our first formal design pattern the NameSpace design pattern.

The Module Design Pattern

The Module Design Pattern enables us to have a separation between our private and public API %u2013 protecting the code from external resources.

The Module Reveal Pattern

While the Module design pattern was very powerful it had a few limitations and they related mainly to the fact that we had to treat the public and private members differently. The Module Reveal Patter
