g-akshay

• Defined as a way to provide both private and public encapsulation for classes
• functions/properties are encapsulated using closures
• Start private attribute names with underscore (convention)

Pros

• Reduces chance of function name conflict with other devs
• You can return specific function based on some configuration or environment
• Revealing pattern makes it more clear at the end of module about the properties which are made public.
