Jan 3, 2014 at 22:40 comment added Dan @Loki: Read about scoping in JS. All variables declared with var (or function, for that matter) are local to the function they are declared inside of. So in your case named functions will be local to updateUser and getSavedUser, so there can be no clash with other parts of code. Moreover, what you declare inside NodeJS module is local to that module, unless you put it in exports. So no, it isn't a problem.
Jan 3, 2014 at 22:31 comment added Loki Astari Thanks. Working through your comments. I was told by another JS expert to avoid named functions (ie prefer anonymous) as the names can potentially clash with other code (which is a real problem as the code grows in size). In your second example are the names not exposed beyond the module? or is there a technique to make them not exposed further?
