Two methods for developing plug-ins with JQuery

1. jQuery.extend(object); to extend the jQuery class itself. Add new methods to the class.

2. jQuery.fn.extend(object); Add methods to jQuery objects.

jQuery.fn

jQuery.fn = jQuery.prototype = {
    init: function(selector, context) {
        //内容
    }
}

jQuery.fn = jQuery.prototype. O(∩_∩)O Haha~, are you familiar with this prototype? !

Although JavaScript does not have a clear concept of classes, it is more convenient to use classes to understand it. jQuery is a very well-encapsulated class. For example, if we use the statement $("#p1"), an instance of the jQuery class will be generated.

jQuery.extend(object)

Add a class to the jQuery class Method can be understood as adding a static method.

jQuery.extend({
    min: function(a, b) {
        return a  b ? a : b;
    }
});
jQuery.min(2, 3); //  2 
jQuery.max(4, 5); //  5

##jQuery.fn.extend(object);

is to add "member functions" to the jQuery class. Only

instances of the jQuery class can call this "member function".

For example, we want to develop a plug-in to make a special edit box. When it is clicked, the content in the current edit box will be alerted. You can do this:

$.fn.extend({
    alertWhileClick: function() {
        $(this).click(function() {
            alert($(this).val());
        });
    }
});
//$("#input1")是jQuery的实例，调用这个扩展方法
$("#input1").alertWhileClick();

The call to jQuery.extend() will not extend the method to the instance of the object. The method that refers to it also needs to be implemented through the jQuery class, such as jQuery.init()

The call of jQuery.fn.extend() extends the method to the prototype of the object, so when a jQuery object is instantiated, it has these methods, which is reflected everywhere in jQuery.

JS

jQuery.fn.extend = jQuery.prototype.extend

You can extend an object into the jQuery prototype, In this case, it is

plug-in mechanism.

(function($) {
    $.fn.tooltip = function(options) {};
    //等价于 var
    tooltip = {
        function(options) {}
    };
    $.fn.extend(tooltip) = $.prototype.extend(tooltip) = $.fn.tooltip
})(jQuery);
