Expand | Embed | Plain Text

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML

$.fn.extend({
	myMethod: function(){...}
});
//jQuery("div").myMethod();
 
$.extend({
	myMethod2: function(){...}
});
//jQuery.myMethod2();
 
defaults = { size: 3 };
options = { height: 6 };
var opts = $.extend(defaults, options)
// 'defaults' receives the methods and variables defined in 'options'
// opts == defaults == { size: 3, height: 6 }
// options == { height: 6 };
 
<pre>var opts = $.extend( {}, defaults, options)
// 'opts' gets all methods and variables defined in 'defaults' and 'options',
// neither of them get modified.
// opts == { size: 3, height: 6 }
// defaults == { size: 3 };
// options == { height: 6 };
