I am a bit new to reusable plugins for jquery. I have ran across this code several times and can’t figure out exactly what is going on.
(function( $ ){
...
})( jQuery );
Can any one enlighten me?
It allows the author to use the $ function within the plugin without exposing it to the global scope – just keeps things a bit cleaner outside of the plugin itself.
I believe this is best practice for developing jQuery plugins – sure I saw it mentioned in the docs somewhere!
