Various var & function syntax used in JS & jQuery

js-jquery-var-function-syntax.js

// Var & Function Syntax // WIP

var someName;		// a variable on the local scope

someName;		// a variable on the global scope

window.someName;	// a production friendly variable on the global scope
			// note: when making a reference to any var with a specific namespace, 
			// make sure you specify it in the call
			
$.someName;		// a variable on the global scope
			// (jQ equivalent of window.someName)
			
$.gv = {		// a unique namespace for a collection of variables on the global scope
    someName1 : '',	// gv can be anything
    someName2 : '',	// more info: http://goo.gl/oTRhhk
    someName3 : '';
};

$.fn.someName;		// a function stored as a variable on the global scope
			// (fn is not needed, but it is used for quick delineation in code & grouping in the DOM)

var $someName;		// a variable on the local scope
	    		// ($ is not needed, added only for quick delineation between the stored object type // DOM object)

var $someName1;		// a stack of var declarations
var $someName2;
var $someName3;

var $someName1,		// a more efficient stack of var declarations
    $someName2,
    $someName3;

//////////

function = someFunc() {
	// this is a typical function
	// do something
});

someFunc(); // call it

// -------

var someFunc = function() {
	// this is called a named function & saves it as a variable (more extensible)
	// do something
};

$.fn.someFunc(); // call it
		 // now its a global var w/ global scope
$('#myId').MyFunction();
