Question

Being a Noob at Jquery, I’ll ask a noob question.
How do you get the selector of a plugin call inside the plugin?

For example:

$('.greatClassName').greatPlugin();

From greatPlugin(), how can I get '.greatClassName'?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

I believe you can access it through this.selector;

Example:

$.fn.greatPlugin = function() {
    console.log( this.selector );
};

$('.greatClassName').greatPlugin(); // prints .greatClassName
