Have you applied the Revealing Constructor pattern in your development practice?

The Revealing Constructor pattern in Node.js is an approach where the constructor function or class explicitly returns an object with methods and properties that should be accessible from outside, hiding internal implementation details. This helps control the public API and encapsulate private data.

Example:

function User(name) {
  let _name = name; // private property

  function getName() {
    return _name;
  }

  function setName(newName) {
    _name = newName;
  }

  // Return an object with explicitly revealed methods
  return {
    getName,
    setName
  };
}

const user = User('Ivan');
console.log(user.getName()); // Ivan
user.setName('Peter');
console.log(user.getName()); // Peter

In practice, I used this pattern to create modules with a clearly defined public API and hidden internal states, which improved code readability and maintainability.
