I am using the bPopup jquery library.. the syntax to add to the onclose event is pretty straightforward:
$('element_to_pop_up').bPopup({
onOpen: function() { alert('onOpen fired'); },
onClose: function() { alert('onClose fired'); }
})
What I want to do is add something to the onClose event after the object is created.. is it possible?
In general you can do this by creating a function that you fiddle with later:
var myOnClose = function() { alert('onClosed fired'); }
function doOnClose() { myOnClose(); }
$('element_to_pop_up').bPopup({
onOpen: function() { alert('onOpen fired'); },
onClose: doOnClose
})
// later...
myOnClose = function() { console.log("Doing something different!"); }
You can access the bPopup object which will be present inside the data of the element.
$('element_to_pop_up').bPopup({
onOpen: function() { alert('onOpen fired'); },
onClose: function() { alert('onClose fired'); }
});
$('element_to_pop_up').data('bPopup');
NOTE: There is no guarantee that the created object will be always present in element's data. But this is widely used approach. It is better to rely on the callback provided.
var realOnclose = f1;
function myOnClose(){realOnclose();}
$('element_to_pop_up').bPopup({
onOpen: function() { alert('onOpen fired'); },
onClose: myOnClose
})
function f1() { alert('onClose fired'); }
function f2() { alert('hey I am another function'); }
//when you want to change the action when onclose...
realOnclose = f2;
If you want to add to, rather than replace, the code you originally supply to the onClose option, you could trigger a custom event:
$('element_to_pop_up').bPopup({
onClose: function() {
// Do the original stuff here.
this.trigger('popup:close');
}
});
Then, at any time later, you can register a handler for the custom event:
$('element_to_pop_up').on('popup:close', function() {
// Do the additional stuff here.
});
Note: Looking at the code for the bPopup library, it looks like the context for the onClose function is the original jQuery object, but if it isn't, replace with: $('element_to_pop_up').trigger('popup:close');.

I have one link:

And I have two different onclick function set to the two classes like this:
jQuery(".lorem").each(function(){
this.onclick = function() {
// stuff
}
});
and
jQuery(".hello").each(function(){
this.onclick = function() {
// stuff
}
});
This stops the top one to work. Why? And how can I make both functions work while being separated?
You can only assign one function to the onclick property. You should use normal jQuery event binding, it allows multiple handlers:
$(".lorem").click(function() {
// stuff
});
$(".hello").click(function() {
// stuff
});
If you want to do it with native Javascript, you can use addEventListener; as the name suggests, these are additive, they don't replace.
jQuery(".lorem").each(function(){
this.addEventListener("click", function() {
// stuff
})
});
jQuery(".hello").each(function(){
this.addEventListener("click", function() {
// stuff
})
});
When you are using query, why use .onclick on the DOM element (therefore overwriting the previous binding). Instead use jQuery's .on:
$('.lorem').on('click', function(){
// something
});
$('.hello').on('click', function(){
// something else
});

JQuery plugin:
$.fn.myPlugin = function( options ) {
var options = $.extend({
myOption: true,
edit: function() {},
done: function() {}
}, options);
options.edit.call(this);
options.done.call(this);
//plugin guts removed to prevent over complication
return {
edit: function(obj) {
$(obj).closest('#myParent').find('#myInput').autosizeInput(); //plugin to autosize an input
},
done: function(obj) {
$(this).closest('tr').find('td').not('.not').each(function(i) {
//do some things
});
}
}
});
Bear in mind this is a cut down version of my plugin.
Called from page:
$(document).ready(function() {
var myPlugin = $('.editable').myPlugin({
edit: $(this).on('click', '.edit-td', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
//do some page specific stuff
myPlugin.edit( $(this) ); //call the edit returned function
}),
done: $(this).on('click', '.done-td', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
//do some page specific stuff
myPlugin.done( $(this) ); //call the done returned function
});
});
});
This works great for the most part, however, what i really want is have functions called from inside my plugin every time a specific callback is triggered - without the need to call from outside the plugin.
I have tried including delegated events in my plugin:
$(this).on('click', '.edit-td', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).closest('#myParent').find('#myInput').autosizeInput();
});
$(this).on('click', '.done-td', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).closest('tr').find('td').not('.not').each(function(i) {
//do some things
});
});
But when the .edit-td is triggered it propagates and triggers the .done-td event, if i put e.stopPropagation() in the edit-td function (because it has been delegated) edit-td stops firing completely.
And non-delegated method:
$(this).find('.done-td').click(function(e, this) {});
But I can't parse the returned object (this) to the internal function before the internal function has completed. (just comes up undefined or missing formal parameter).

To avoid the question becoming to localised -
I need to have functions called from inside my
plugin every time a specific callback is triggered.
Without calling it using closures
Something like:
if( $.fn.myPlugin.callback().is('edit') ) {
//fire function
}
I needed to return a function(s) like so:
return {
enable: function(arg) {
//do something
},
disable: function(arg) {
//do something
}
}
That way I can call it from inside my plugin by referencing itself like this:
this.myPlugin().disable();
I'm learning how to use objects to help organize my code and give it some structure but I've run into a problem. I don't understand how to set the $(this) from inside of one function to the $(this) of another function.
I'm researching call and apply but I can't seem to grasp how it works in this scenario.
cloneCard and clickCard is where I'm having the problem. I want to pass the $(this) that is referenced when I click the card to the cloneCard function.
Here is my code so far (updated to reflect the answer):
var Modal = {
init: function(config) {
this.config = config;
this.clickCard();
this.removeModal();
this.clickOutside();
this.createClose();
},
clickCard: function() {
$this = this;
this.config.boardOutput.on('click', '.card', function(event) {
$this.showOverlay();
$this.cloneCard.call($(this));
$this.createClose();
});
},
cloneCard: function() {
this.clone()
.replaceWith($('<div/>').html(this.html()))
.removeClass('card')
.addClass('modal')
.css("margin-top", $(window).scrollTop())
.prependTo('body');
},
showOverlay: function() {
this.config.overlay.show();
},
removeModal: function() {
$('.modal').remove();
$('.overlay').hide();
},
clickOutside: function() {
this.config.overlay.on('click', this.removeModal);
},
createClose: function() {
$('<span class="close">X</span>')
.prependTo('.modal')
.on('click', this.removeModal);
}
};
Modal.init({
boardOutput: $('#board-output'),
overlay: $('.overlay')
});
For what you need, calling self.cloneCard.call($(this)); instead of self.cloneCard($(this));
should work. What you're doing is, calling cloneCard passing it the element in which the the clickCard event occured.
If this doesn't work, i think we'll need more information to sovle your problem.
I'm trying to bind a click event to the function below, however the entire function is currently being run when being binded in the document ready.
Is it possible to run it solely on the click event? Possibly it has something to do with the way my method is composed?
Thanks in advance
$(function() {
$("#expand-search").on("click", search.resize());
});
var search = {
element: $('#search_advanced'),
resize: function() {
search.element.slideToggle(400, 'swing', search.buttonState());
},
buttonState: function() {
if(search.element.is(':hidden')) {
console.log('hidden');
} else {
console.log('visible');
}
}
};
You are calling the function (handler) instead of passing the reference (name) of function (handler) to on().
Change
$("#expand-search").on("click", search.resize());
To
$("#expand-search").on("click", search.resize);
No parenthesis to event handlers! You want to pass the function-to-be-executed, not the result from executing it. Also, you will need to move your search object inside the ready handler since you use selectors for its initialisation.
$(function() {
var search = {
element: $('#search_advanced'),
resize: function() {
search.element.slideToggle(400, 'swing', search.buttonState);
},
buttonState: function() {
if(search.element.is(':hidden')) {
console.log('hidden');
} else {
console.log('visible');
}
}
};
$("#expand-search").on("click", search.resize);
});
Ok terrible title but I couldn't think of another description.
I have the following code:
jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ )
{
$.myNamespace = {
init: function()
{
$('.button').click(function() {
this.anotherFunction();
});
},
anotherFunction: function()
{
alert('insidefunction');
}
}
$.myNamespace.init();
});
As you can see I am trying to call anotherFunction from inside init and have there the two ways I tried but didn't work. So how am I able to call that function or is my concept wrong?
jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ )
{
$.myNamespace = {
init: function()
{
var a=this;
$('.button').click(function() {
a.anotherFunction();
});
},
anotherFunction: function()
{
alert('insidefunction');
}
}
$.myNamespace.init();
});

Absolutely calling it within the click handler changes things, as this inside any jQuery event handler is set to the element that caused the event.
Instead, try using the following pattern:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$.myNamespace = (function() {
function init() {
$('.button').click(function() {
anotherFunction();
});
}
function anotherFunction() {
alert('insidefunction');
}
// return an object with all the functions you want
// available publically as properties. Don't include
// any "private" functions.
return {
init: init,
anotherFunction: anotherFunction
};
})();
$.myNamespace.init();
});
