Calling a user defined function in jQuery

I am trying to call a user defined function in jQuery:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#btnSun').click(function() {
    myFunction();
  });
  $.fn开发者_如何学编程.myFunction = function() {
    alert('hi');
  }
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="btnSun">Say hello!</button>

I tried the following as well:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#btnSun').click(function() {
    myFunction();
  });
});

function myFunction() {
  alert('hi');
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="btnSun">Say hello!</button>

It doesn't seem to work! Any idea where I am wrong?

If you want to call a normal function via a jQuery event, you can do it like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#btnSun').click(myFunction);
});

function myFunction() {
  alert('hi');
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="btnSun">Say hello!</button>

Just try this. It always works.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#btnSun').click(function() {
    $.fn.myFunction();
  });
  $.fn.myFunction = function() {
    alert('hi');
  }
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="btnSun">Say hello!</button>

They are called plugins, as Jaboc commented. To make sense, plugin function should do something with the element it is called through. Consider the following:

jQuery.fn.make_me_red = function() {
    return this.each(function() {
        this.style.color = 'red';
    });
};

$('a').make_me_red();

---

The following is the right method

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#btnSun').click(function(){
        $(this).myFunction();
     });
     $.fn.myFunction = function() { 
        alert('hi'); 
     }
});

---

Try this $('div').myFunction();

This should work

$(document).ready(function() {
 $('#btnSun').click(function(){
  myFunction();
 });

function myFunction()
{
alert('hi');
}

---

jQuery.fn.make_me_red = function() {
    return this.each(function() {
        this.style.color = 'red';
    });
};

$('a').make_me_red() // - instead of this you can use $(this).make_me_red() instead for better readability.

---

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#btnSun').click(function(){

      myFunction();

   });

   $.fn.myFunction = function() { 
     alert('hi'); 

    }; 
});

Put ' ; ' after function definition...

---

jQuery.fn.make_me_red = function() {
    alert($(this).attr('id'));
    $(this).siblings("#hello").toggle();
}
$("#user_button").click(function(){
    //$(this).siblings(".hello").make_me_red(); 
    $(this).make_me_red(); 
    $(this).addClass("active");
});
​

Function declaration and callback in jQuery.

function hello(){
    console.log("hello")
}
$('#event-on-keyup').keyup(function(){
    hello()
})

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" id="event-on-keyup">

---

jQuery.fn.clear = function()
{
    var $form = $(this);

    $form.find('input:text, input:password, input:file, textarea').val('');
    $form.find('select option:selected').removeAttr('selected');
    $form.find('input:checkbox, input:radio').removeAttr('checked');

    return this;
}; 


$('#my-form').clear();

---

in my case I did

function myFunc() {
  console.log('myFunc', $(this));
}
$("selector").on("click", "selector", function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  myFunc.call(this);
});

properly calls myFunc with the correct this.
