Answer 1

Via using NodeJS (commonJS syntax) I was able to get this type of functionality working, I originally had just a JSON structure inside some external JS file, but I wanted that structure to be more of a Class, with methods that could be decided at run time.

The declaration of 'Executor' in myJSON is not required.

var myJSON = {
    "Hello": "World",
    "Executor": ""
}

module.exports = {
    init: () => { return { ...myJSON, "Executor": (first, last) => { return first + last } } }
}
