Question

I have already a short-hand function like so:

function myObj() {};
    myObj.prototype.read = function (name) {alert(name);};
    ...(more functions)

Now I would like to “convert” this to a jQuery plugin.
What is the best way to do so? (My function doesn’t need a selector before it).
I thought about doing it like this:

$.myObj.methodHere();

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Just add your method to the jQuery object.

$.myObj = myObj;

Then you can call it like:

$.myObj.methodHere();

EDIT: Why do you want to do this? jQuery plugins are supposed to act upon jQuery objects. Your function “doesn’t need a selector before it”, therefore it’s not really a “plugin”.
