Passing arguments into the revealing Module pattern in Javascript

Question

How can you pass arguments to a function when implementing the Revealing module pattern in JavaScript. I have a module like this

var GlobalModule = (function() {
    function consoleLog(textToOutput) {
        console.log(textToOutput);
    }

    return {
        consoleLog: consoleLog()
    };
})();

Later on, when i run GlobalModule.consoleLog("Dummy text");, I get undefined as the output.

return {
    consoleLog: consoleLog()
};

That part of your code is wrong. You're exporting the Result of the consoleLog call due to the () at the end of the function, where you want to export the function itsself. So just remove the function call:

return {
    consoleLog: consoleLog
};
