How to Reuse Your JavaScript as jQuery Plugins

Ruby on Rails platform-as-a-service provider Engine Yard is running a series of articles on reusing JavaScript code written by Christopher Haupt of Webvanta. The first focuses on reusing JavaScript as jQuery plugins.

“If jQuery is a fit for your project, you can utilize its conventions to reap the benefits of a consistent code style, logical approach to working with data, and to easily leverage other basic building blocks of code,” writes Haupt.

Haupt covers:

  • Best practices for developing JQuery plugins
  • Function patterns
  • Chaining
  • Namespacing

He also touches briefly on jQuery UI Widget.
