For example:
var resultList = [];
var objectName = (userName) => {
};
objectName.rowCount; // return overall count
objectName.fetchNext(); // updated data will be available in resultList
I have tried multiple solutions with no result like
var resultList = [];
var objectName = (userName) => {
var rowCount = 0;
init() {
// make call to server and read data
rowCount = 5; // setting dummy data
};
fetchNext = function(){
// logic here
resultList = [] // new data
};
init();
};
EDIT
Another attempt
var x = function(){
var a = function(){console.log('a');};
var b = function(){console.log('b');};
return {a: a, b: b};
}
x.a(); // not able to call this function
>Solution :
You can’t use an arrow function as a constructor, so tyou could change your code to use a traditional function:
function objectName(userName) {
var rowCount = 0;
init = function() {
// make call to server and read data
rowCount = 5; // setting dummy data
};
this.fetchNext = function(){
// logic here
const resultList = [] // new data
return resultList;
};
init();
};
var myObj = new objectName("foo");
console.log(myObj.fetchNext());
Or, you can return an object from your arrow function
var objectName = (userName) => {
var rowCount = 0;
function init() {
// make call to server and read data
rowCount = 5; // setting dummy data
};
init();
return {
fetchNext: function(){
// logic here
const resultList = [] // new data
return resultList;
}
}
};
var myObj = objectName("Foo");
console.log(myObj.fetchNext());

For completeness, the reason your edit did not work is that you defined x but never executed the function. This works:
var x = function(){
var a = function(){console.log('a');};
var b = function(){console.log('b');};
return {a: a, b: b};
}
x().a(); // must execute x to get the result
And is esssentially the same as my second example above
