Introduc)on to jQuery
Developing a Plugin
The Original Func)on /* Make Element Standout */
func)on standout(element){ element.style.border = “1px solid #f00”; } standout(document.getElementById(‘myelement’) );
Steps 1. Convert to Plugin 2. Encapsulate Plugin
Specific Code 3. Support Chaining 4. Expose Global Defaults 5. Support “Per-‐Call” ConfiguraCon 6. Support “Per-‐Element” ConfiguraCon
As a Plugin /* plugin code */
$.fn.standout = func)on() this.css(“border”, “1px solid #f00”); } $(“div”).standout()
Encapsulate Plugin Specific Code (func)on($){
/* plugin code */ $.fn.standout = func)on() debug(this); this.css(“border”, “1px solid #f00”); }; /* private debug method */ func)on debug(o) { console.log(“Count:” + o.length); } })(jQuery);
Facilitate Chaining (func)on($){ /*
plugin code */ $.fn.standout = func)on() debug(this); return this.css(“border”, “1px solid #f00”); } func)on debug(o) { … } })(jQuery); $(“div”).standout().fadeOut()
Expose Global Defaults /* plugin code
*/ $.fn.standout = func)on() if($.fn.standout.defaults.debug){ debug(this); } return this.css( "border", $.fn.standout.defaults.borderStyle ); } /* global defaults*/ $.fn.standout.defaults = { borderStyle : "1px solid #f00” debug: window.console && window.console.log }
Support “Per-‐Call” Configura)on /* plugin code
*/ $.fn.standout = func)on(opts) var o = $.extend({}, $.fn.standout.defaults, opts); return this.css("border", o.borderStyle); }; /* global defaults */ $.fn.standout.defaults = { borderStyle : "1px solid #f00” debug: window.console && window.console.log } $(“div”).standout({debug:false})
Support “Per-‐Element” Configura)on /* plugin code
*/ $.fn.standout = func)on(opts) var o = $.extend({}, $.fn.standout.defaults, opts); return this.each(func)on() { var t = $(this); var eo = $.meta ? $.extend({}, o, t.data()) : o; t.css("border", eo.borderStyle); }); }; <div class=“{borderStyle: ‘1px solid blue’}”></div>
Sta)c Plugins
getParam Method (func)on($){ /* extract
a parameter from URL */ $.getParam = func)on(name) { var param = new RegExp( '[\\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)’ ).exec(window.loca)on.href); return (param) ? param[1] : null; }; })(jQuery); // hip://www.mysite.com/?username=jameshu $.getParam(“username”); // <-‐-‐ “jameshu”
getParam Method (Alterna)ve) $.extend({
/* extract a parameter from URL */ getParam : func)on(name) { var param = new RegExp( '[\\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)’ ).exec(window.loca)on.href); return (param) ? param[1] : null; } });
Pseudo Selectors
Modified Input Field Selector /* Add Modified Input Field
Selector*/ $.extend($.expr[':'], { modified: func)on(el, idx, tokens) { /* tokens[3] = args*/ return $(el).is("input") && el.defaultValue != el.value; } }); /* Clear all modified input elements */ $("input:modified") .val(“”);
Ques)ons?
