[jQuery] Re: Plugin's method called chained with selector or not?
Hi Juan,
You probably shouldn't be making direct calls to a $.fn.methodName()
function.
I'm not sure what it is you want to accomplish, but perhaps a good example
would be the each function. There is a $.fn.each which is called when you
use $('.foo').each(). And there is a separate $.each that is meant to be
called directly. In fact, $.fn.each calls $.each to do the iteration.
Maybe you could use a pattern like that: Define a jQuery.methodName function
for direct calls, and a jQuery.fn.methodName for calls via a jQuery object -
which can use jQuery.methodName as a support function if that makes sense.

Hi everyone,
I am writing little plugins for helping me in my developments. Everything's
ok, and easy to do, but now I'm face to face with a little problem.
I've a plugin's method like this:
[CODE]
jQuery.fn.methodName = function(options) {
// Code
}
[END CODE]
The problem is that I want to know when I call the function this way:
[CODE]
$('elemento.class').methodName();
[END CODE]
And when I call it this other way:
[CODE]
$.fn.methodName();
[END CODE]
I need this in order to do the this.each thing inside the plugin's method.
Hope everything is well explained, and sorry about my poor english.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, thank you very much for your answer, it really make
sense. I'm gonna test it right now, because it really seems to be the
obvious way to do it.
Thanks again.
