Creating a widget

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 29.2010

I’ve seen a couple of examples of sites using code similar to the following to create widgets.

[CODE]
var foo = {
f : function(e){
alert(e + 4);
},
};

new foo.f({
word: ‘test’,
backgroundColor: ‘blue’,
width: 250,
height: 300,
});
[/CODE]

How does this work? I mean I want to be able to append to or create an element using what I’ve supplied to in new foo.f.
What is best practice in creating a javascript widget?

@WebnerdJan 30.2010 — Let's call "foo" the "namespace" or "class".

Let's call "f" the "method" or "function".

What you have there is standard JSON. An object with defined properties and methods.

Success!
