POQuestions about jQuery patterns
text
Body
copied!<p>So i decided to finally learn something about jQuery and as i needed a simple function for one of my projects, i started to search for a good pattern.</p> <p>I began with the official <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Authoring" rel="nofollow">guide</a> but soon found many other possible templates. I will reference two of them to ask my questions:</p> <p><a href="http://www.impressivewebs.com/my-current-javascript-design-pattern/" rel="nofollow">First one</a></p> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/7snNz/" rel="nofollow">Second one</a></p> <p>The first pattern seems to be a lot more cleaner to me, i like the idea of the namespace very much. But, how is this used? Do i write my whole functions as methods of the namespace, then calling all of them in the <code>init()</code> and finally just call this one method <code>init()</code> in the <em>IIFE</em>, or should i call the necessary methods directly in the <em>IIFE</em>?</p> <p>I feel like this question is very idiotic, but i just can't understand the usage.</p> <p>The second pattern i even more complicated to me. Have a look at this:</p> <pre><code>;(function ( $, window, document, undefined ) { //... })( jQuery, window, document ); </code></pre> <p>What are all these parameters, where do i set them and why are they needed? What is the disadvantage of the wrapper in the first sample?</p> <p>The diversity of possibilities is overwhelming, i don't know where to start or how to figure ot the right thing for me.</p>
