My starter template for a jQuery plugin

jquery-plugin-template.js

/*
 * jQuery('a').pluginName();
 * or
 * jQuery('a').pluginName({
 *   className: 'alternative-class-name'
 * });
 */

;(function ( $, window, document ) {
    $.fn.pluginName = function( options ) {
        var settings = $.extend({
            className: 'example-class-name'
        }, options );

        return this.each( function() {
            $(this).addClass( settings.className );
        });
    };
})( jQuery, window, document );
