How to call jQuery function with multiple parameters?

jquery - how to call a function with parameters inside a widget-factory plugin?

  • I want to call a function inside my jquery-plugin (widget-factory based). Looks like this: (function( $, window) { $.widget("mobile.multiview",$.mobile.widget, { stackUp: function (source, event, data) { ... } } }) (jQuery,this); I want to call stackUp from outside of the plugin. The problem: I don't know how to pass the parameters correctly. This does not work: $('#trigger').multiview("stackUp('pagination', fakeEvent, fakeData)"); Can somebody point me to the correcty syntax of calling a public function inside a plugin and passing along parameters? UPDATE: I can call the function like this: $('#trigger').multiview('stackUp'); but how can I pass the parameters?

  • Answer:

    Ok, after endless meddling, the parameters or arguments are passed like this: $("#trigger").multiview('stackUp','pagination', fakeEvent, fakeData ); You just have to add parameters after the function separated by comma. Hope this helps someone else, too.

I'm not very familar with jquery but try this: $("#trigger").multiview(function() {stackUp('pagination', fakeEvent, fakeData);}); This is an allonymous function which will be executed on need with your static and dynamic parameters.

I dont really know how that plugin extends and exposes its functions but I would guess you could try one of the following: $.mobile.widget.stackUp.apply($('#trigger'), ['pagination', fakeEvent, fakeData]); $.mobile.multiview.apply($('#trigger'), ['pagination', fakeEvent, fakeData]); However its entirely possible that they don't expose that method. Do you have the code somewhere? UPDATE After actually finding out what this plugin is I read up on the docs and you should be able todo: $('#trigger').stackUp(...) View source here: http://jqueryui.com/demos/widget/default.html - and look at the random function that is defined. Alternatively you could just define the function in a more global scope and then use it as part of the config object and when you want to apply it to specific elements.
