I'm working on a jQuery plugin, which is primarily a series of utility
functions. I need to worry about namespace problems, so I have opted
for the option to add an object to the base jQuery object.
i.e.
jQuery.myObj = { . . . };
What I'm not clear on is if this is the best approach. Thus far
everything is working fine, but that jQuery.fn.myObj approach and the
jQuery.fn.extend() method are a little over my head (so far). Are these
better approaches to be using?
The methods I'm creating return various values - ints, dates, etc. So I
don't think the jQuery.fn.myObj approach would work here - it would
break chaining.
So, I'm looking for any guidance you may be able to offer. I'm the type
that will plow through this anyways and make a choice where need be, but
a second opinion is ALWAYS appreciated.. Just in case I'm doing things
wrong... :) Thanks in advance.
