First jquery plugin

Question

Im trying to make my first jquery plugin.. but actually i dont know what im doing wrong here.

$(document.ready(function()
{
    var plugin = (function()
        {
            //this function is not accessible from the outside
            function privateFunction()
            {

            }

            //these functions are
            return
            {
                alert1: function()
                {
                    alert('Hallo');
                },

                alert2: function()
                {
                    alert("hi");
                }

            }

        })()

        //but it is not working :/
        plugin.alert1();
});

it is not executing one of the alerts. Am i putting some semicolons wrong? i checked if all were closed

Answer 1

Javascript's automatic semicolon insertion will add a semicolon after return and undefined is returned.

Your code will look like

return;
{...

Replace

return
        {

Should be

return {

You're also missing the ) after document in the first line of code.

Demo

 $(document).ready(function() { var plugin = (function() { //this function is not accessible from the outside function privateFunction() { // Code Here } //these functions are return { alert1: function() { alert('Hallo'); }, alert2: function() { alert("hi"); } }; }()); //but it is not working :/ plugin.alert1(); });
