JS - modular programing

Question

I want to set up a manager with a handler object that provides a specific function for each request. Why is only syntax a) working in other sample code I saw syntax b)

a)

 my.manager.requesthandler.create();

.

b)

my.manager.requesthandler [create]();

.

// my manager-modul

(function(){

my.manager = (function(){


    var requesthandler = {


        create: function () {

            //do something
        }

    };

    return {

        requesthandler : requesthandler 
    };

})();

})();

if my.manager.requesthandler.create(); works then b should be my.manager.requesthandler["create"](); — user1651640

my.manager.requesthandler.create

is equivalent to

my.manager.requesthandler["create"]

(notice the quotation marks)

what you wrote as b

my.manager.requesthandler[create]

means looking up a variable named create and getting

my.manager.requesthandler["whatever string create's value is"]
