I'm working on converting a plug-in to UI Widget format, and am
confused about how the factory handles instances and prototypes...
In a normal Javascript object that will be instantiated, I put only
the instance-specific data in the base object. I create all methods as
prototypes so that they are *not* instantiated. I have looked at
numerous widgets for examples of prototyping, but have not seen any
pattern that makes sense to me.
So my question is, should widgets be created using prototypes? Or is
*everything* a prototype? For example...
$.widget("ui.dialog", {
_init: function() { ... }
, destroy: function() { ... }
, close: function() { ... }
, open: function() { ... }
});
Are methods declared like this 'instantiated', or are they prototypes?
Only rarely do I see methods 'specifically' added to the prototype,
like...
$.extend($.ui.tabs.prototype, {
rotation: null,
rotate: function(ms, continuing) {
...
});
Any guidance would be appreciated.
