Object Creation Pattern Performance Andy Appleton @appltn http://appleton.me
Two popular patterns for making objects
Module Pattern var Module = function(arg){ var self = {
getArg: function(){ return arg1; } }; return self; };
Constructor Functions var Constructor = function(arg){ this.arg = arg; };
Constructor.prototype.getArg = function(){ return this.arg; };

Constructor functions are faster to instantiate Use constructors if you’re
going to have a lot of objects
Modules are quicker to call methods on Use modules if
you’re going to be calling a lot of methods
Other factors...
