Strict Violation using this keyword and revealing module pattern

by

JSHint has an option called validthis, which:

[…] suppresses warnings about possible strict violations when the code is running in strict mode and you use this in a non-constructor function […], when you are positive that your use of this is valid in strict mode.

Use it in the function that JSHint is complaining about, which in your case, would look like this:

function privFn() {
    /*jshint validthis: true */
    return this.test; // -> No Strict violation!
}

function pubFn() {
    /*jshint validthis: true */
    this.test="public"; // -> No Strict violation!
    privFn.call(this); // -> No Strict violation!
}

It might seem like a pain to have to specify that in each function where it applies, but if you set the option at the top of your module function, you may hide genuine strict mode violations from yourself.
