函数也是对象,因此$.each可以以与对象类似的方式定义。
JavaScript 是一种原型语言。对于 jQuery,这意味着 的每个实例都$从jQuery.prototype. 见注释
一个非常粗略的演示,以实现类似的行为:
(function() { // Closure to not leak local variables to the global scope
    function f(a, b) {
        //Do something
    }
    // Prototype. All properties of f.prototype are inherited by instances of f.
    // An instance of f can be obtained by:    new f, new f(), Object.create(f)
    f.prototype.removeClass = function(a) {
        return a;
    };
    function $(a, b) {
        return new f(a, b); // <--- "new f" !  
    } 
    $.each = function(a) {
        alert(a);             
    };
    window.$ = $; // Publish public methods
})();
//Tests (these do not represent jQuery methods):
$.each("Foo");                   // Alerts "Foo" (alert defined at $.each)
alert($().removeClass('Blabla'));// Alerts "Blabla"
笔记
jQuery 的 root 方法定义如下(仅显示相关部分):
(function(win) {
    var jQuery = function (selector, context) {
        return new jQuery.fn.init(selector, context, rootjQuery);
    };
    //$.fn = jQuery.fn is a shorthand for defining "jQuery plugins".
    jQuery.fn = jQuery.prototype = {
        constructor: jQuery,
        init: function( /* ..parameters.. */ ) { 
            //.... sets default properties...
        }
        //....other methods, such as size, get, etc...
        //.... other properties, such as selector, length, etc...
    };
    jQuery.fn.removeClass = function() { // (Actually via jQuery.fn.extend)
        // ... method logic...
    };  //...lots of other stuff...
    win.$ = win.jQuery = jQuery; //Publish method
})(window);
该prototype方法的优点是非常容易链接方法和属性。例如:
$("body").find("div:first").addClass("foo");
实现此功能的方法可能是:
$.fn.find = function(selector) {
    ...
    return $(...);
};
