You can install with npm

  $ npm install jquery-pluginconfig

With Bower

  bower install jquery-pluginconfig

Or use some of the files at dist folder.

Let's say you have a jQuery plugin called my-awesome-plugin. And you want to allow the user to set the configs of that plugin for a given element using data-* attributes.

You can let them do this:

  <div class="my-element" data-my-awesome-plugin-config="hello" data-my-awesome-plugin-config-two="world"></div>div>

And then you can do this:

  var config = $('.my-element').pluginConfig('my-awesome-plugin');

  // You'll get { config: "hello", configTwo: "world"}

  // Then use it

  $('.my-element').myAwesomePlugin(config);

You can also use it internally of your plugin, so the user won't have to call pluginConfig every time.

That's all, folks!
