Question

This is probably a duplicate question, but I can’t find it.

I understand ” How to add a function to jQuery? ” – with the activation of that function being something like:

jQueury(selector).myFunction();

But jQuery also has some “core” functions that can be activated like:

jQuery.ajax(options);

If I want to add a function to jQuery that does not act on an element, like a logging function, how would I be able to achieve adding it to the “core” so that it can be activated like:

jQuery.log('message');

Answer 1

Use $.extend( { functionName: function() { ... } } );.

Or more simply: $.functionName = function() { ... };.
