javaScript Patterns 4.6 Immediate Object Initialization

( {    // here you can define setting values    // a.k.a. configuration constants    maxwidth : 600,    maxheight : 400,    // you can also define utility methods    gimmeMax : function() {        return this.maxwidth + "x" + this.maxheight;    },    // initialize    init : function() {        console.log(this.gimmeMax());        // more init tasks...    }}).init();

Usage

PRotect the global namespace while performing the one-off initialization tasks.

Note

If you want to keep a reference to the object after it is done, you can easily achieve this by adding return this; at the end of init().
