variables - javascript pass object as reference

i have a object, which is getting passed in many different functions inside a function. these functions may or may not change the value of the object, but if they do change it, then i would like to get the latest changes on object.

following is what im trying to do:

var ob = {text: 'this is me', name: 'john'}

function (object) {

     changeObject(object);
     customObjectChanger(object);
     callback = function (object) {
          object.text = 'new text';
     }

     callback(object);

     // object value here should be object{text: 'new text', name: 'john'};    
}

In JavaScript objects are always passed by copy-reference. I'm not sure if that's the exactly correct terminology, but a copy of the reference to the object will be passed in.

This means that any changes made to the object will be visible to you after the function is done executing.

Code:

var obj = {
  a: "hello"
};

function modify(o) {
  o.a += " world";
}

modify(obj);
console.log(obj.a); //prints "hello world"
