How to call a function from a function?

Question

JavaScript

export const applicationSidebarMenu = (application: IApplication) => {
    let sidebarMenuItems = {};
     function setSidebarMenuActive() {
          console.log(sidebarMenuItems);
     }
}

I want to use applicationSidebarMenuit as a repository - to call other functions from there Like
this:
applicationSidebarMenu. setSidebarMenuActive();

Answer 1

Why not make an object?

export const applicationSidebarMenu =  {
    sidebarMenuItems: {},
     setSidebarMenuActive() {
          console.log(sidebarMenuItems);
     }
}
applicationSidebarMenu.setSidebarMenuActive()
