Add value to Object inside a function from another function

Question

I am looking to update the value in a chaseObj from the method in another object. Please Advise, Thank you!

var s, searchUts;
var getValue = '';
var generateObject = function() {
  var chaseObj = {
    "timeFilters" : getValue
  };
  return chaseObj;
};

searchUts = s = {
  createValue: function() {
    var x = 10;
    var y = 20;
    getValue = x + y; //append this value to chaseObj inside the generateObject
  },
  postToBackEnd: function() {
  var chaseObj = generateObj();
    $.ajax({
    url: localhost:8080/site/home,
    data:JSON.stringify(chaseObj) //chaseObj is not updated with new value here

    })
  }

};

since it's un-reachable though code, you can't. you can pass an object around to keep the refs instead of mere string values, or use a method + closure. — dandavis

Unclear what you want but is this the result you wanted?

var s, searchUts;
var getValue = '';
var generateObject = function() {
  var chaseObj = {
    "timeFilters" : getValue
  };
  return chaseObj;
};

searchUts = s = {
  createValue: function(obj) {
    var x = 10;
    var y = 20;
    obj.timeFilters = x + y; //append this value to chaseObj inside the generateObject
  },
  postToBackEnd: function() {
     var chaseObj = generateObject();
     this.createValue(chaseObj);
     console.log(JSON.stringify(chaseObj));
  }
};

s.postToBackEnd();
