First jQuery Plugin
2011-11-22
I wrote my first jQuery plugin. It’s nothing fancy, but I’ve got the boilerplate down for future plugins.
Thanks to jMar for the jump start.
(function($){ $.fn.truncate = function() { ////truncate is the name of the plugin var defaults = { ////set up default parameters ////default values here }; var options = $.extend(defaults, options); ////options will be the parameter scope return this.each(function() { ////loop through each matched element }); }; })(jQuery);
My plugin takes containers and horizontally spaces all images they contain. I built it for the images across the top of my web site. It could definitely be expanded upon. Currently, it only takes a width option (default: 120) and only works horizontally.
Regardless, you can check it out here.
