Accessing private member variables from prototype-defined functions

Question

Is there any way to make “private” variables (those defined in the constructor), available to prototype-defined methods?

TestClass = function(){
    var priv         


        

Answer 1

Here's what I came up with.

(function () {
    var staticVar = 0;
    var yrObj = function () {
        var private = {"a":1,"b":2};
        var MyObj = function () {
            private.a += staticVar;
            staticVar++;
        };
        MyObj.prototype = {
            "test" : function () {
                console.log(private.a);
            }
        };

        return new MyObj;
    };
    window.YrObj = yrObj;
}());

var obj1 = new YrObj;
var obj2 = new YrObj;
obj1.test(); // 1
obj2.test(); // 2

the main problem with this implementation is that it redefines the prototypes on every instanciation.
