我看到的一些开发jQuery插件的教程和示例往往会返回
this.each(function () {
//Plugin code here
});
at the end of the function that instantiates the plugin but I have yet to see any reasoning behind it, it just seems to be a standard that everyone follows. Can anyone enlighten me as to the reasoning behind this practice?
Edit: For clarification my question was not about why to return this, but rather why the plugin should return this.each.
