/***/
const counter = new Counter();

/*note that alert("XXXX") only executes once*/
/*think of counter() = new Counter() declaration as storing the value of ONE Counter function execution and 
the remaining times you use counter(), you reexecute only the returned function*/
/*use counter() instead of Counter() if you want alert("XXXX") to execute only once AND for you to be able to return an actual value otherwise you only console.log a function and alert executes multiple times*/

A closure gives you access to an outer function’s scope from an inner function
//example
function init() {
  var name = 'Mozilla'; // name is a local variable created by init
  function displayName() { // displayName() is the inner function, a closure
    alert(name); // use variable declared in the parent function
  }
  displayName();
}
init();

Closure ()

Comment

// Closures
// In JavaScript, closure is one of the widely discussed and important concepts.
// A closure is a function that has access to the variable from another function’s scope which is accomplished by creating a function inside a function. As defined on MDN:
// “Closures are functions that refer to independent (free) variables. In other words, the function defined in the closure ‘remembers’ the environment in which it was created.”
// In JavaScript, closures are created every time a function is created, at function creation time. Most JavaScript developers use closure consciously or unconsciously — but knowing closure provides better control over the code when using them.
// Example:

function Spellname(name) {
var greet = "Hi, " + name + "!";
var sName = function() {
var welc = greet + " Good Morning!";
console.log(greet);
};
return sName;
}
var Myname = SpellName("Nishi");
Myname();  // Hi, Nishi. Good Morning!

// In the above example, the function sName() is closure; it has its own local scope (with variable welc) and also has access to the outer function’s scope. After the execution of Spellname(), the scope will not be destroyed and the function sName() will still have access to it.

// A closure is a function having access to the parent scope, 
// even after the parent function has popped.

function greeting() {
    let message = 'Hi';

    function sayHi() {
        console.log(message);
    }

    return sayHi;
}
let hi = greeting();
hi(); // still can access the message variable

How do JavaScript closures work?

Comment

/*
A lexical environment is part of every execution context (stack frame) and is a map between identifiers (i.e. local variable names) and values.

Every function in JavaScript maintains a reference to its outer lexical environment. This reference is used to configure the execution context created when a function is invoked. 
This reference enables code inside the function to "see" variables declared outside the function, regardless of when and where the function is called.

If a function was called by a function, which in turn was called by another function, then a chain of references to outer lexical environments is created.
This chain is called the scope chain.

In the following code, inner forms a closure with the lexical environment of the execution context created when foo is invoked, closing over variable secret:
*/
function foo() {
  const secret = Math.trunc(Math.random() * 100)
  return function inner() {
    console.log(`The secret number is ${secret}.`)
  }
}
const f = foo() // `secret` is not directly accessible from outside `foo`
f() // The only way to retrieve `secret`, is to invoke `f`
 Run code snippet

what is closure in JavaScript

Comment

A combination of a function object and a scope (a set of variable bindings)

in which the function's variables are resolved is called a closure.

Callbacks are functions that are passed into another function as an argument.

Closures are functions that are nested in other functions, and it's often used to avoid scope clash

with other parts of a JavaScript program

<button type="button" onclick="funClosure()">Click to Count</button>

<p id="displayValue">0</p>
<script>
const add = (function(){
	let count = 0;
    return function(){
		count += 1;
        return count;
    }
})();

function funClosure(){
  document.getElementById("displayValue").innerHTML = add();
}
</script>

/*A closure is the combination of a function bundled together (enclosed) with references
to its surrounding state (the lexical environment). In other words, a closure gives you 
access to an outer function’s scope from an inner function. In JavaScript, closures are 
created every time a function is created, at function creation time.*/
