Yes, of course, these are general programming principles, so they are just as valid in the javascript programming languages.
We all know that when considering different patterns, it's a good idea to keep in mind that we shouldn't use a pattern for the sake of using a pattern. Take that one step further and don't use a pattern in javascript only because it has worked for you in another programming language and you *know* it should work. The thing is that javascript may provide a more elegant solution, it's a dynamic and loosely-typed language.
