What is jQuery.Class?

Question

I'm wondering what the following code is doing:

jQuery.Class("Vtiger_Helper_Js",{ });

I'm asking because I can't figure out what jQuery.Class is about...

Answer 1

The vtiger CRM uses the jQuery.Class plugin, available here.

You can see it in the repository in the libraries folder.

Answer 2

This is what is called jQuery.class.js which is a plugin to supersede prototype.js basically since jQuery is huge now.

Several of the methods in this plugin use code adapated from Prototype

Meaning they basically made jQuery and prototype.js one language to easily transition those who use prototype.js to jQuery or at least help thme
