Why wouldn't I just do:
$.fn.misbehave = function () { alert('Oh behave!');}
$('.bad-behavior').misbehave();
?
What is gain by adding an extra "object-oriented" wrapper around standard jquery functionality?
- rodp 17y agoYou're missing the point by miles, buddy. When you find some time, go beyond the simplest example.
- GrandMasterBirt 17y agoI think the idea is to select multiple objects, assign them whatever behaviors you wish (if they exist) and execute those behaviors. Even the simple example: #("#foo").missbehave is quite bad: missbehave has to be defined as a jQuery global behavior on all objects, not something that is specific to every single dom element to which it was assigned: $("#foo,#bar,#baz").behavior("missbehave") would mean that each of the 3 have potentially 3 different behaviors for missbehave in the same scheme of things, some might not even have those behaviors. Think more along the lines of the state of a page: You set a state, which configures behaviors. Execute the behaviors. Change a state, change behaviors, execute them again. Makes state management much easier. God I am wishing I had this about 3 weeks ago when I started my current project :)
