在将我的几个库移植到不同的项目中，并且不得不不断更改顶级(静态命名的)名称空间之后，我转而使用这个小的(开源的)帮助函数来定义名称空间。

global_namespace.Define('startpad.base', function(ns) {
    var Other = ns.Import('startpad.other');
    ....
});

关于好处的描述在我的博客文章中。您可以在这里获取源代码。

我非常喜欢的一个好处是模块之间相对于加载顺序的隔离。你可以在加载外部模块之前引用它。当代码可用时，将填充您获得的对象引用。

我写了另一个命名空间库，它的工作方式有点像其他语言中的包/单元。它允许你创建一个JavaScript代码包，并从其他代码中引用这个包:

文件hello.js

Package("hello", [], function() {
  function greeting() {
    alert("Hello World!");
  }
  // Expose function greeting to other packages
  Export("greeting", greeting);
});

文件Example.js

Package("example", ["hello"], function(greeting) {
  // Greeting is available here
  greeting();  // Alerts: "Hello World!"
});

页面中只需要包含第二个文件。它的依赖项(本例中的文件hello.js)将自动加载，从这些依赖项导出的对象将用于填充回调函数的参数。

你可以在Packages JS中找到相关的项目。

示例:

var namespace = {};
namespace.module1 = (function(){

    var self = {};
    self.initialized = false;

    self.init = function(){
        setTimeout(self.onTimeout, 1000)
    };

    self.onTimeout = function(){
        alert('onTimeout')
        self.initialized = true;
    };

    self.init(); /* If it needs to auto-initialize, */
    /* You can also call 'namespace.module1.init();' from outside the module. */
    return self;
})()

你可以声明一个局部变量，就像self和assign local。onTimeout如果你想要它是私有的。

我使用这种方法:

var myNamespace = {}
myNamespace._construct = function()
{
    var staticVariable = "This is available to all functions created here"

    function MyClass()
    {
       // Depending on the class, we may build all the classes here
       this.publicMethod = function()
       {
          //Do stuff
       }
    }

    // Alternatively, we may use a prototype.
    MyClass.prototype.altPublicMethod = function()
    {
        //Do stuff
    }

    function privateStuff()
    {
    }

    function publicStuff()
    {
       // Code that may call other public and private functions
    }

    // List of things to place publically
    this.publicStuff = publicStuff
    this.MyClass = MyClass
}
myNamespace._construct()

// The following may or may not be in another file
myNamespace.subName = {}
myNamespace.subName._construct = function()
{
   // Build namespace
}
myNamespace.subName._construct()

外部代码可以是:

var myClass = new myNamespace.MyClass();
var myOtherClass = new myNamepace.subName.SomeOtherClass();
myNamespace.subName.publicOtherStuff(someParameter);

这是Ionuț G. Stan的回答的后续，但通过使用var ClassFirst = this显示了整洁代码的好处。ClassFirst = function(){…}，它利用JavaScript的闭包作用域来减少相同名称空间中的类的名称空间混乱。

var Namespace = new function() {
    var ClassFirst = this.ClassFirst = function() {
        this.abc = 123;
    }

    var ClassSecond = this.ClassSecond = function() {
        console.log("Cluttered way to access another class in namespace: ", new Namespace.ClassFirst().abc);
        console.log("Nicer way to access a class in same namespace: ", new ClassFirst().abc);
    }
}

var Namespace2 = new function() {
    var ClassFirst = this.ClassFirst = function() {
        this.abc = 666;
    }

    var ClassSecond = this.ClassSecond = function() {
        console.log("Cluttered way to access another class in namespace: ", new Namespace2.ClassFirst().abc);
        console.log("Nicer way to access a class in same namespace: ", new ClassFirst().abc);
    }
}

new Namespace.ClassSecond()
new Namespace2.ClassSecond()

输出:

Cluttered way to access another class in namespace: 123
Nicer way to access a class in same namespace: 123
Cluttered way to access another class in namespace: 666
Nicer way to access a class in same namespace: 666

如果你需要私有作用域:

var yourNamespace = (function() {

  //Private property
  var publicScope = {};

  //Private property
  var privateProperty = "aaa"; 

  //Public property
  publicScope.publicProperty = "bbb";

  //Public method
  publicScope.publicMethod = function() {
    this.privateMethod();
  };

  //Private method
  function privateMethod() {
    console.log(this.privateProperty);
  }

  //Return only the public parts
  return publicScope;
}());

yourNamespace.publicMethod();

否则，如果你永远不会使用私有作用域:

var yourNamespace = {};

yourNamespace.publicMethod = function() {
    // Do something...
};

yourNamespace.publicMethod2 = function() {
    // Do something...
};

yourNamespace.publicMethod();
