Function call not working

I have the bellow code,

(function(exports) {
"use strict";

var Common = function() {
  this.loading        = function(type){
        this.type();            
        this.show    = function(){
            alert('show');
        }   

        this.hide   = function(){
            alert('hide');      
        }
   }
    exports.Common = Common;
    exports.Common = new Common();
}(window));

I was trying to access show() and hide() like ,

   Common.loading('show');
   Common.loading('hide');

But it throws an error,

TypeError: this.type is not a function

You are passing a string, it won't magically become a function when it reaches the method :)

You are trying to access a method which is property of this, so replace

this.type();

by

this[type]();
