javascript object creation

gistfile1.js

//The top level function we'll use to create objects from
//  (will basically act as a factory for object creation
var createObjects = function(){};

//Define the create function. It's not defined inside the function
//  so we don't need to call it to access it. i.e., if this was
//      inside createObjects, we'd need to do createObjects().create
createObjects.create = function(name){
    //newObject will reference the created object
    var newObject = new createObjects[name]();
    return newObject;
};

//We can also specify a prototype that all items can share
//  (if we assign the prototype to each createObjects.ClassName)
createObjects.prototype.speak = function(){
    console.log("My name is " + this.name);
};

createObjects.Person = function(){
    this.name = 'Adam';
};
//Note: you could set the prototy of this function
//  to equal the createObjects.prototype if you wanted inheritence
createObjects.Person.prototype = createObjects.prototype;

//---------------------------------------
//We can create a 'Person' object using createObjects.create()
person = createObjects.create('Person');
//and log it outputs:
//  >createPerson.Peron
console.log(person);

console.log(person.speak())
