Hey,
so after some time I decided to look into plugin creation. Since for
some time I was forced to load up to 30 different variables from
inputs, so I created a function that would read all the data from one
instead of multiple inputs. So now I tried to reform it into a plugin.
The problem starts here.
Here is the code (simplified).
(function($) {
$.datareader = function(settings) {
if(!settings) {
this.settings = $.extend({}, $.datareader.defaults,
settings);
} else this.settings = settings;
};
$.datareader.defaults = {
bracket: '{}'
}
$.extend($.fn.dr, {
update:
function(input) {
process(this, false, 'update', input);
},
del:
function(input) {
},
add:
function(input) {
}
});
$.fn.dr = function(settings) {
this.each(function(settings) {
process(this, settings);
});
return this;
}
})(jQuery);
"process" function in does all the stuff needed since I need it
multiple times and returns an object. Now my question is about
"$.fn.dr". How can I force it to return a value instead of just
executing the function, I tried multiple ways but none of them worked.
Which would be fine for the functions that extend this one, since
there I need it to be executed instead of returing a value. Also I
dont really need the "$.fn.dr" function to loop trough all elements
since its only for my internal use, I know it will be fired only on
one.
So to put it simple how can I force the function to return an actual
value? :)
Oh and one more think. I create a "new $.datareader" object each time
its fired. Wouldnt that be a major slowdown or something if it will be
exucuted lets say 20 times? (which can easily happen)
