Modify JQuery Object

Question

I have a JQuery plugin creating a new object each time I call the plugin's main-function:

Function call:

new BpNotification( options );

Function itself:

function BpNotification( options ) { this.init(); } BpNotification.prototype = { init: function() { this.t = setTimeout(function(){}, 5000); } }

Is it possible to modify this timeout-option "t" from 'outside' after the object is created?

You code is unclear and contains syntax errors at the end. In which context that setTimeout occurs? — plalx

You can change t as you like:

function BpNotification( options ) { this.init(); } BpNotification.prototype = { init: function() { this.t = setTimeout(function(){alert('default');}, 500); } } var Bpn = new BpNotification(); clearTimeout(Bpn.t); Bpn.t = setTimeout(function(){alert('updated!');}, 500);

You would want to create a setter function to change the setTimeout value, in the prototype object:

BpNotification.prototype = { init: function() { }, updateTimeout: function(newVal){ this.t = setTimeout(function(),newVal); } }; var bpNot = new BpNotification(); bpNot.init(); bpNot.updateTimeout(10000);
