JS method calling with return

Question

var DOM_N$ = function(selector){
    this.selector = selector;
    return "jello world";
}
DOM_N$.prototype = {
    getSelector: function(){
        return this.selector;
    }
}
function N$(selector){
    return (new DOM_N$(selector));
}

N$('element').selector; //wont return selector because of return
N$('element'); //returns element

I am trying to return the values from an object when no other methods are being called but my return is interrupting my objects methods.

in jquery $('element'); will return and has methods to call with it — THE AMAZING

No, jQuery doesn't do it. jQuery does always return a collection of elements. I really don't get what you want this return this.nodes; to do. Just omit it. — Bergi

i think it will help if you'll provide us with an "expected result vs actual result" — user2844991

For DOM_N$ be a constructor, it should returns nothing

var DOM_N$ = function(selector){
    this.selector = selector;
}
