Question

In a jquery plugin options you often see true and false used like this:

var defaults = {
    one: 'false',
    two: 'true',
    three: 'true'
};

---

I was wondering if I could do something like this instead:

var defaults = {
    doStuff: 'three two' // order of these wouldn't matter
};

This code above would equal to:

one == false
two == true 
three == true

---

Question is, how could I achieve that?

Answer 1

May be you want something like this

(function($){

    var defaults = {
        flags : ""
    }

    $.myPlugin = function(options){
        options = $.extend(true, {}, defaults, options);

        $.each(options.flags.split(" "), function(i, v){
            options[v] = true;
        });

        if (options.one) {
            alert("one setted");
        }

        if (!options.three) {
            alert("three not set");
        }

    }


})(jQuery);


$.myPlugin({flags: "one two"});
