jQuery Forum

 

I am not a JQuery expert so I am very confused about creating private variable for an object instance.

I want to create a simple jquery plugin, but all instances see the last declared class variables.

 

Can someone tell me the reason and the solution ?

 

 

;( function ( $ ) {

 

    /* This is a private declaration, isn't it ? */

    var settings = {
        pagesize: 10
    }

 

    $.fn.myPlugin = function (options) {

        setVars( options );

    }

 

    function setVars(options) {
        settings = $.extend( {}, options);
    }

 

    /* Alert the page size related to the CURRENT instance */

    $.fn.myPlugin.refresh = function () {
        alert( settings.pagesize );
    }

 

} ) ( jQuery );
