According to this StackOverflow answer What does jQuery.fn mean?, the fn property in jQuery.fn.jquery is an alias to the prototype property. I assume that this would be the same in these two methods whose full code is below
$.fn.map = function() and $.fn.tweets = function()
My question then, is, if, for example, $.fn.tweets uses the prototype to create a tweets method, would this code with $('tweets').tweets be calling it...
var $tweets = $('#tweets').tweets({
query: buildQuery(approxLocation),
template: '#tweet-template'
});
and, if so, how might it trigger that method. For example, does the mere creation of the variable on file loading trigger that function, which has other methods inside of it, namely query? Thanks for your help
Full code of methods
$.fn.map = function(method) {
console.trace();
console.log(method);
if (method == 'getInstance') {
console.log(fn.map);
return this.data('map');
}
return this.each(function() {
var $this = $(this);
var map = $this.data('map');
if (map && MyMap.prototype[method]) {
map[method] (Array.prototype.slice.call( arguments, 1 ));
} else if ( typeof method === 'object' || ! method ) {
var options = method;
$this.data('map', new MyMap( this, options ));
} else {
$.error( 'Method ' + method + ' does not exist on jQuery.map' );
}
});
}
$.fn.tweets = function(method) {
if ( methods[method] ) {
return methods[ method ].apply( this, Array.prototype.slice.call( arguments, 1 ));
} else if ( typeof method === 'object' || ! method ) {
return methods.init.apply( this, arguments );
} else {
$.error( 'Method ' + method + ' does not exist on jQuery.tweets' );
}
}
variables that call those methods?
var $tweets = $('#tweets').tweets({
query: buildQuery(approxLocation),
template: '#tweet-template'
});
var $map = $('#map').map({
initialLocation: approxLocation,
radius: 1000,
locationChanged: function(location) {
$tweets.tweets('setQuery', buildQuery(location));
}
});
