Writing jQuery Plugins Using Classes and Prototypes

Question

Is it good or bad practise writing plugins this way(using class and prototypes), what are disadvatages of this code?

function PluginName(jqueryObject, options) {         


        

Answer 1

The easiest way to write jQuery plugins (especially if they have some internal state) is to use jQuery UI Widget Factory.

I wouldn't recommend to reinvent the wheel and write lots of boilerplate code by yourself.
