jQuery.data() namespace
html, javascript, jquery
Solution
Why not using
$(el).data('myplugin.foo')
and
$(el).data('myplugin.xyz')
?
So if you don't need to access more than one value at the same time, you avoid useless indirections and tests.
Problem
How can I avoid conflicts with other jQuery plugins using `$.data()`? I was thinking I could use a single key to store my data like `$(el).data('myplugin', { foo: 'a', xyz: 34});` and access it like `$(el).data('myplugin').foo` etc. But how can easily change a value, without overriding the whole data? Like changing the value of "foo".
