gistfile1.js

(function($) {
	
	$.fn.myPlugin = function(options, args){
		this.each(function(){
			$this = $(this);
			
			var instance = $this.data('myPlugin');
			if (instance && typeof(instance) == 'object')
				callInstance(instance, options, args);
			else
				$this.data('myPlugin', new $.myPlugin(this, options));
		});
		
		function callInstance(instance, options, args){
			if (options && typeof(options) == 'string')
				switch(options){
					case 'inspectOption':
						instance.inspectOption(args);
						break;
					default:
						throw 'Invalid method name';
				}
			else if (options && typeof(options) == 'object')
				instance.updateOptions(options);
			else
				throw 'Invalid call';
		}
		
		return this;
	};
	
	$.myPlugin = function(img, options){
		var options = $.extend({
			opinion: 'This starter rocks!'
		}, options);
		
		this.updateOptions = function(opts){
			options = $.extend(options, opts);
		};
		
		this.inspectOption = function(name){
			console.log(name + ": " + options[name]);
		};
	};

})(jQuery);

$(document).ready(function(){
	// initialize
	$('#first').myPlugin();
	$('#second').myPlugin({opinion: 'I love it!'});
	
	// call method
	$('#first').myPlugin('inspectOption', 'opinion'); // => opinion: This starter rocks!
	$('#second').myPlugin('inspectOption', 'opinion'); // => opinion: I love it!
	
	// update options
	$('#first').myPlugin({opinion: 'Me too!'});
	$('#first').myPlugin('inspectOption', 'opinion'); // => opinion: Me too!
});
