jQuery Best Practices
Creating New App
Run jQuery on Load
Best practice for jQuery functions to wrap in IIFE (immediately invoked function expression). Example shows a shorthand of $(document).ready as $(function() {}). Based on: http://gregfranko.com/blog/jquery-best-practices/
(function($) {
$(function() {
$(".example").dropdown();
});
})(jQuery);
// IIFE keeps all code out of global scope
(function($, window, document) {
// The $ is now locally scoped
$(function() {
// The DOM is ready!
// equiv of $(document).ready(function () {
});
})(window.jQuery, window, document);
