How to access an object outside of the function when it is present in a named function.



 function a(){

I tried to set a variable and then access it but I get an error.

That's a local variable and its scope is inside of that function.



Probably, your confusion is on how a function is called as a constructor.



new bla()


So, you can access properties from instantiated objects through a function called as a constructor. Further, to set properties you need to use the context this.






var bla = function a() {
this.someobj = {b: "abc"};
//^^^^
// console.log(someobj)
}
console.log(new bla().someobj)
// ^^^^^^^^^

You need to return the object in your function.



Adding the "." after bla() without returning something is the same thing as undefined.someobj






var bla = function a() {
return {someobj:{
b: "abc"
}}
}
console.log(bla().someobj)
