How to access nested function in Javascript from another function?

Question

In case I have

import axios from "axios";

function model() {
  function getAll() {
    return axios
      .get("http://localhost:3000/teams")
      .then(response => response.data);
  }
}

export default model;

How can I access getAll() method from another component ?

I tried importing model and then referring it to getAll - model.getAll(), but it complains that the method is undefined.

I tried referring to Calling a Function defined inside another function in Javascript , but could not find the solution.

Is this even the correct approach?

Maybe you can put teams in a seperate file and export it: export default axios.get(.... and just import teams import teams from './teams';teams.then(teams=>.... — HMR

You can't access getAll from anywhere except inside model. Maybe you meant to create an object?

var model = {
    getAll: function () { ... }
}

model.getAll();

For some reason I thought I was meant to do it this way. In case I was doing it as I normally do, I would just export the function and then import it. Since it's not possible, I must've not figured it out correctly. Thanks

You could always instantiate the function

function model() {
  this.getAll = () => {
    console.log("hello world");
  };
}

const myFunc = new model();

myFunc.getAll() // console.log('hello world')
