Would this extra code go in the core?
What advantage does this have over just creating a good template/
pattern for plugins? I could see that by abstracting it you could get
all plugins to register themselves and function in the same way. But
I'm not sure that you could provide enough functionality to satisfy
the needs of any plugins with enough complexity.
I'm just about finished with my ContextMenu plugin, which I developed
from a pattern that I find useful and reusable, and it works well for
me.
For simple additions to jQuery that I have built up over time, I've
been using a very simple plugin that lets me avoid the internal
looping over each matched item:
$.plugin = function(name,f) {
$.fn[name] = function() {
var args = arguments;
return this.each(function() {
f.apply(this,args);
});
}
}
$.plugin("alert", function(){ alert(this.innerHTML); } );
Similar to what you've written, I guess, but simpler and with less
functionality.
