Commonly accepted best practices around code organization in JavaScript [closed]

It would be a lot nicer if javascript had namespaces built in, but I find that organizing things like Dustin Diaz describes here helps me a lot.

var DED = (function() {

    var private_var;

    function private_method()
    {
        // do stuff here
    }

    return {
        method_1 : function()
            {
                // do stuff here
            },
        method_2 : function()
            {
                // do stuff here
            }
    };
})();

I put different “namespaces” and sometimes individual classes in separate files. Usually I start with one file and as a class or namespace gets big enough to warrant it, I separate it out into its own file. Using a tool to combine all you files for production is an excellent idea as well.
