What about using triggers? Does anyone know any drawback using them? The benefit is that all internal variables are accessible via the triggers, and the code is very simple.
See on jsfiddle.
Example usage
<div id="mydiv">This is the message container...</div>
<script>
var mp = $("#mydiv").messagePlugin();
// the plugin returns the element it is called on
mp.trigger("messagePlugin.saySomething", "hello");
// so defining the mp variable is not needed...
$("#mydiv").trigger("messagePlugin.repeatLastMessage");
</script>
// define the objects:
var objLit = {
x: 0,
y: 0,
z: 0,
add: function () {
return this.x + this.y + this.z;
}
};
var ObjCon = function(_x, _y, _z) {
var x = _x; // private
var y = _y; // private
this.z = _z; // public
this.add = function () {
return x + y + this.z; // note x, y doesn't need this.
};
};
// use the objects:
objLit.x = 3;
objLit.y = 2;
objLit.z = 1;
console.log(objLit.add());
var objConIntance = new ObjCon(5,4,3); // instantiate an objCon
console.log(objConIntance.add());
console.log((new ObjCon(7,8,9)).add()); // another instance of objCon
console.log(objConIntance.add()); // same result, not affected by previous line
$(function(){
var select = $("select");
$("nav a").each(function(){
var $this = $(this);
var text = $this.text();
var level = $this.parents("ul").length;
var indent = '';
if (level > 1)
{
indent = str_repeat("\u2013", level);
}
select.append('<option>'+indent + text+'</option>');
});
});
function str_repeat(string, times) {
var repeatedString = "";
while (times > 0) {
repeatedString += string;
times--;
}
return repeatedString;
}
