How to use opencv extra modules?

In node modules, should I use closures or use their private variables?

• I am programming for prototypal inheritance, and thus will be extending other modules (also my own). I thus plan to write a normal object with all public methods and variables in it, and then have the module.exports constructor return a copy of it. I am wondering if I should encapsulate private variables inside of the returned object using closure-based getters and setters or simply keep them out of the object entirely and instead in the entire module space, which is designated to be private?

• Answer:

  Module.exports is just an object, not necessarily a constructor. It's personal preference. Keeping variables in the module's scope will make things much cleaner.
