Question

I’m currently making a plugin. I have many options and want to know if it would be possible to make a sub-section for an option in an jquery plugin.

Like this:

$('#id').name({
    extra: {
        more: ''
    }
});

I really don’t know if its possible. But if it is I would also need to know how to retrieve the information in more for example.

Answer 1

You can set them just how you have it set up. To retrieve the options, simply use options.extra.more.

If you do this:

$('#id').name({
    extra: {
        more: {
            evenMore: ''
        }
    }
});

You can use options.extra.more.evenMore to retrieve it, and so on.

Here’s an example: http://jsfiddle.net/ZvfsQ/

I hope this helps.
