share data between jQuery functions in one plugin about umd HOT 5 CLOSED

I do not think I quite follow. Could you illustrate it with a code example?

from umd.

In the jQuery plugin I'd like to have a private variable that cannot be read outside the plugin.
And also a public (but not global) variable that can be set in other modules dependent on this jQuery plugin.

meanwhile a few js projects went UMD :)

Probably something like this then. Since it is a jquery plugin I would expect just AMD and browser globals to be in play, so I used the amdWeb.js example UMD as a baseline:

(function (root, factory) {
    if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd) {
        // AMD. Register as an anonymous module.
        define(['jquery'], factory);
    } else {
        // Browser globals
        root.myPlugin = factory(root.jQuery);
    }
}(this, function ($) {
  // This variable is private just to the jquery plugin
  var privateVariable = 'foo';

  $.fn.myPlugin = function () {};

  // This is a variable that is visible to other code
  $.fn.myPlugin.config = {};

  return $.fn.myPlugin;
}));

Then if an AMD loader plugin asks for this plugin, it can modify myPlugin.config:

define(['myPlugin'], function (myPlugin) {
    myPlugin.config.color = 'blue';
});

Thank you very much!
Maybe - for others - it worths to make it a file in the repo.
