jquery plugin problem about saltarellecompiler

[erik-kallen]

Obviously a bug here.

Also, this mixin solution has a serious flaw in my opinion, but that's not the fault of saltarelle.
Suppose I want to create a plugin, which needs to accept some options (as many jquery plugins have)
The constructor will take the options as an argument, like
public static jQueryObject MyPlugin( MyPluginOptions options );

There is no way to access these options but from the static constructor... while many jquery plugins have additional methods that may or may not use/set properties from the option object.

This was already a problem I had in script# and I didn't get an good answer how to solve this.

eg. in jquery ui, dialog has a method to set options:
$("#myDialog").dialog( "option" , optionName , [value] )

Where do they store / retrieve the original MyPluginOptions that is passed to the constructor?

Should I model such a method as an overloaded static constructor ?

First, I'm not sure whether I think it is actually a good idea to write jQuery plugins in Saltarelle (or Script#).

For your question, I guess what you'd do is something like

class MyPluginExtensions {
    [InstanceMethodOnFirstArgument]
    public static jQueryObject MyPlugin(this jQueryObject jq, MyPluginOptions opts) { return null; }

    [InlineCode("{this}.myPlugin('option', 'myOption', {value})")]
    public static jQueryObject MySetPluginOption(this jQueryObject jq, string value) { return null; }
}

[ScriptAlias("$.fn")]
public class MyPluginClass
    public static void MyPlugin(TypeOption<MyPluginOptions, string> opts) {
        if (Script.GetScriptType(opts) == "string" && (string)opts == "option") {
            string optionName = Arguments.GetArgument(1);
            object optionValue = Arguments.GetArgument(2);
            // Set the option
        }
        else {
            // Construct the plugin
        }
    }
}
