What's better - to define function inside object definition or outside?

js_func_definition.js

if(App.app_settings.requests == undefined) App.app_settings.requests = {};

App.app_settings.requests.getAppData = function(id, settings){
	this.apiRequest({
		type: 'GET',
		url: 'app_settings/getAppData',
		data: {id: id},
		error: settings.error,
		success: settings.success
	});
}
//
//or that way
//
if(App.app_settings.requests == undefined) App.app_settings.requests = {
	getAppData: function(id, settings){
		this.apiRequest({
			type: 'GET',
			url: 'app_settings/getAppData',
			data: {id: id},
			error: settings.error,
			success: settings.success
		});
	}
}
