There are no function local static variables, but you can use a private global variable to keep the state local to your module.

Thanks Joe - my lackof understanding of module usage gets me either undefined variable or an import loop errors.
Is there (or can you please provive) an example say of simple incrementing a variable and printing?

Something like this should work:

private var counter = 0;

next() {

  counter += 1;

  return counter;

}
