Javascript functions with objects-like properties

Question

Is there anything wrong having javascript functions objects-like properties?

function foo(prop) { return foo[prop] }
foo.faa = 'blah';
foo.fee = 'bleh';

In my real case, I'm using as a status message:

(I couldn't paste my function here as S.O. said it was too much code, but it can be found here).

So I can use like this:

if (candidateStatus(candidate) === candidateStatus.ELECTED) {...}

• Fallenreaper: IMO this is a great way for dealing with validators and Enum type checking.
• Joseph: Functions are also objects. Just so you know, jQuery's $ is actually a function. You can call it like $('.selector') but also hosts "static" functions like $.each and $.ajax.
• Jacob Morris: You can read about object-oriented JavaScript programming at developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/… if you get bored:)

Answer 1

Nope, there is nothing wrong with that. Functions (like almost everything else) in Javascript are objects, and can be treated as such.

Answer 2

Nothing wrong this will act like function [object like] properties

function foo(prop) { return foo[prop] }
foo.faa = 'blah';
foo.fee = 'bleh';
 // Is same as 
function foo(prop) { 
 this.faa = 'blan'; 
 this.fee = 'bleh';
 return foo[prop]; // or we can write foo.prop
 } 
 var newFun = new foo();
 console.log(newFun['faa']); // blan

Case this without return statement

function foo() { 
 this.faa = 'blan'; 
 this.fee = 'bleh';
 } 
 var newFun = new foo();
 console.log(newFoo.faa); // blan
