More jQuery Plug-ins

Abstract

You ended the last chapter with a pretty awesome accordion plug-in that you built based on the initial accordion code you wrote in Chapter 7. In this chapter, you will take your Dribbble API work from Chapter 8 and turn it into a plug-in. You’ll do this by making a slightly different type of plug-in, one that exists directly on the jQuery object. This means instead of calling it on a set, as you did previously:

$$ \begin{gathered} \$ \left( {div'} \right).somePlugin(); \hfill \\ \quad \;You call it directly: \hfill \\ \$ .somePlugin(); \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$
