Extending $.fn.init Function

I'm trying to extend jQuery with the following: $.fn.extend({ initCore: $.fn.init, init: function (selector, context, rootjQuery) { return $.fn.initCore(sel

Solution 1:

$.fn.init is the class constructor itself.

Try adding $.fn.init.prototype = $.fn afterwords to restore the original prototype.

Solution 2:

I guess you're missing the context. Try

return $.fn.initCore.call(this, selector, context, rootjQuery);

or even easier

return this.initCore(selector, context, rootjQuery);

No, wait, init is the constructor itself. That means

$.fn.initCore.call(this, selector, context, rootjQuery);
doSomeThingWith(this);

...

$.fn.init.prototype = $.fn;

or

var ob = new $.fn.initCore(selector, context, rootjQuery);
doSomeThingWith(ob);
return ob;
