Hi all. With a lot of developers writing javascript these days, it's easy
to write something that collides with someone else's code. I like Dojo's
and YUI's approach to namespaced code. So, I decided to create a plugin for
jQuery that allows you to create namespaced objects... it's actually a
transposed version of YUI's namespace function:
jQuery.namespace = function(ns) {
if (!ns || !ns.length) { return null }
var levels = ns.split(".");
if (eval('typeof '+levels[0]+'=="undefined"')) {
eval(levels[0]+'={}');
}
var nsobj = eval(levels[0]);
for (var i=1; i<levels.length; i++) {
nsobj[levels[i]] = nsobj[levels[i]] || {};
nsobj = nsobj[levels[i]];
}
return nsobj;
};
Feed it a namespace:
$.namespace("org.jquery.utils")
Then start using your new namespaced object:
org.jquery.utils.HelloWorld = function() {alert('hi')}
This would actually be a nice feature to add to the base jQuery library...
any thoughts on that?
