I'm curious how to specify options to a jQuery plugin in a way that some are required, some are optionally overridden, and some can't be touched.
I started off with the usual:
jQuery.fn.plugin = function (options){
var defaults = { username: "", posts:10, api: "http://myapi.com" }
var settings = jQuery.extend({}, defaults, options);
}
Let's say I want username to be required, posts is optional (defaults to 10) and you (you being the user of the plugin) can't change api, even if they try. Ideally, they'd all still be in the same data structure instead of being split into separate objects. Ideas?
