Here I have one simple example of the closure concept which we can use for in our E-commerce site or many others as well.
I am adding my JSFiddle link with the example. It contains a small product list of three items and one cart counter.
// Counter closure implemented function;
var CartCouter = function(){
var counter = 0;
function changeCounter(val){
counter += val
}
return {
increment: function(){
changeCounter(1);
},
decrement: function(){
changeCounter(-1);
},
value: function(){
return counter;
}
}
}
var cartCount = CartCouter();
function updateCart() {
document.getElementById('cartcount').innerHTML = cartCount.value();
}
var productlist = document.getElementsByClassName('item');
for(var i = 0; i< productlist.length; i++){
productlist[i].addEventListener('click', function(){
if(this.className.indexOf('selected') < 0){
this.className += " selected";
cartCount.increment();
updateCart();
}
else{
this.className = this.className.replace("selected", "");
cartCount.decrement();
updateCart();
}
})
}
