How to extend a javascript object to include a method using _.extend or $.extend?

Question

For example using Underscore library, the following code works:

var myobject = {};
_.extend(myobject, { 
  method: 'demo'
});

Here, myobject.method prints demo. But the following example does not work, myboject.method is undefined, when I set the value of method to be a function instead of a string:

var myobject = {};
_.extend(myobject, { 
  method: function() {
    return 'demo'
  });
});

Syntax is not right...

Remove the extra );

var myobject = {};
_.extend(myobject, { 
  method: function() {
    return 'demo'
  } // ); <-- remove this
});
