Where is jQuery.data() stored?
Where does jQuery store the values of the data()
that it sets to DOM objects?
Is there some kind of variable like jQuery.dataDb
or something, maybe even something private?
Is there any way to ga开发者_JAVA百科in access to this object?
Internally, jQuery creates an empty object called $.cache
, which is used to store the values you set via the data method. Each DOM element you add data to, is assigned a unique ID which is used as a key in the $.cache
object.
jQuery gets or sets data in 3 different ways for 3 different type of object.
For DOM element, jQuery first get a unique id, than create a custom property for element called expando:
var counter = 0;
function uid() {
// only example
return 'jQuery' + counter;
}
function getExpando(element) {
var expando = element['jQueryExpando'];
// for those without expando, create one
if (!expando) {
expando = element['jQueryExpando'] = uid();
}
return expando;
}
On the other hand, jQuery has a $.cache object which stores data map for each element, jQuery searches $.cache by expando and get a data map for certain element, getting or setting data in that map:
function data(element, name, value) {
var expando = getExpando(element);
var map = $.cache[expando];
// get data
if (value === undefined) {
return map && map[name];
}
// set data
else {
// for those without any data, create a pure map
if (!map) {
map = $.cache[expando] = {};
}
map[name] = value;
return value;
}
}
For custom object(which is not DOM element or window object), jQuery directly set or get a property from that object by name:
function data(obj, name, value) {
if (!obj) {
return obj;
}
// get data
if (value === undefined) {
return obj[name];
}
// set data
else {
obj[name] = value;
return value;
}
}
At last, for the special window object, jQuery has a special windowData variable in closure to store data for window:
function data(obj, name, value) {
if ($.isWindow(obj)) {
obj = windowData;
}
// same as data for custom object
}
Ok I figured it out.
jQuery.expando
contains a string that's appended to each element which is jQuery + new Date()
HTMLElement[jQuery.expando]
contains the key to that element's data
jQuery.cache[HTMLElement[$.expando]]
contains the data
on the element
