AMD compatible plugin for jQuery
// UMD dance - https://github.com/umdjs/umd
!function(root, factory) {
if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd) {
define(['jquery'], factory);
} else {
factory(root.jQuery);
}
}(this, function($) {
'use strict';
// Default options
var defaults = {
};
// Constructor, initialise everything you need here
var Plugin = function(element, options) {
this.element = element;
this.options = options;
};
// Plugin methods and shared properties
Plugin.prototype = {
// Reset constructor - http://goo.gl/EcWdiy
constructor: Plugin,
someMethod: function() {
}
}
// Create the jQuery plugin
$.fn.plugin = function(options) {
// Do a deep copy of the options - http://goo.gl/gOSSrg
options = $.extend(true, {}, defaults, options);
return this.each(function() {
var $this = $(this);
// Create a new instance for each element in the matched jQuery set
// Also save the instance so it can be accessed later to use methods/properties etc
// e.g.
// var instance = $('.element').data('plugin');
// instance.someMethod();
$this.data('plugin', new Plugin($this, options));
});
};
// Expose defaults and Constructor (allowing overriding of prototype methods for example)
$.fn.plugin.defaults = defaults;
$.fn.plugin.Plugin = Plugin;
});
// Usage example
require(['jquery', 'jquery.plugin'], function($) {
$('.test li').plugin({
test: 'option1',
test2: 'option2'
});
});

poor @BlinKy has to work on jquery plugins. I still love the wrap idea, it was huge win. I have now kind of figured cjs support as well.

Yeah, works great with jQuery because it's usually always called the same in the path options.

And I don't mind jQuery so much, fun to change around now and then.
