Why does this work with $ (document) .ready, but not when it is an anonymous function?
I am starting to learn about the Module Design Pattern, so I wrote some code to try everything. What am I doing wrong?
(function() {
var test = {
init: function() {
this.cacheDom();
this.bindEvents();
},
cacheDom: function() {
this.$button = $('button');
},
bindEvents: function() {
this.$button.on('click', this.alertMsg);
},
alertMsg: function() {
alert('Hello World');
}
};
test.init();
})()

You have to put document.ready (or shorthand) inside the module to wrap any actions for which the DOM will be fully loaded:
(function() {
var test = {
init: function() {
this.cacheDom();
this.bindEvents();
},
cacheDom: function() {
this.$button = $('button');
},
bindEvents: function() {
this.$button.on('click', this.alertMsg);
},
alertMsg: function() {
alert('Hello World');
}
};
$(function() {
test.init();
});
})();
Remember, that:
$(function() {
});
is just $ (document) .ready shorthand.
