Setting Properties in JavaScript Object Which Operator to Use

I'm confused by the = vs. : when assigning a value to a property in an object


Now I know that there are a couple ways to create an object:



  • Object Literal

  • Object Constructor


With an object Literal you would use ":" to assign a value to a property:


var myObject = {firstName: "John", lastName="Smith" };


There we are using ":" to set the value to the property.


I also know a function itself is an object. And you can probably expose public properties from there as part of the function being an object?


So is it if you're assigning a function to a property that you'd use "="? I am assuming yet but what about something like this:



var phantom = require('phantom');

var World = function World(callback) {

phantom.create("--web-security=no", "--ignore-ssl-errors=yes", { port: 12345 }, function (ph) {
var phantomProcess = ph;

createBrowserPage = function(){
phantomProcess.createPage(function(page) {

this.headlessPage = page;
})
};
});

callback();
};

module.exports.World = World;


I assume I have this right in that I want to expose createBrowserPage through exports. I wouldn't use createBrowserPage: and use a ":" instead of "=" to assign that anonymous function to the createBrowserPage property right?
