Hi,

I'm new in JS/jQuery development and i need your help about a
question : where really to place private and public functions ?

I saw various possibilities on the net, but two seems to be identical.

For example, public function. The first possibility :

    ;(function($) {

        var $.fn.pluginName = function(options) {
            var opts = $.extend({}, $.fn.pluginName.defaults,
options);

            // public function inside $.fn.pluginName function
            var $.fn.pluginName.publicFunction = function(args) {
                // CODE ...
            };

            // CODE ...

            return this.each( function() {
                // CODE ...
            });

        };

    })(jQuery);


The second possibility :

    ;(function($) {

        var $.fn.pluginName = function(options) {
            var opts = $.extend({}, $.fn.pluginName.defaults,
options);

            // CODE ...

            return this.each( function() {
                // CODE ...
            });

        };

        // public function inside (function($) { ... })(jQuery)
        var $.fn.pluginName.publicFunction = function(args) {
            // CODE ...
        };

    })(jQuery);


What is the best ? Are they different ?

The same question existe about private functions. First :

    ;(function($) {

        var $.fn.pluginName = function(options) {
            var opts = $.extend({}, $.fn.pluginName.defaults,
options);

            // private function inside "$.fn.pluginName" function
            var privateFunction = function(args) {
                // CODE ...
            };

            // CODE ...

            return this.each( function() {
                // CODE ...
            });

        };

    })(jQuery);


And the second possibility :

    ;(function($) {

        var $.fn.pluginName = function(options) {
            var opts = $.extend({}, $.fn.pluginName.defaults,
options);

            // CODE ...

            return this.each( function() {
                // CODE ...
            });

        };

        // private function outside "$.fn.pluginName" function
        var privateFunction = function(args) {
            // CODE ...
        };

    })(jQuery);


Really thanks for your help,
