How to Update Default Settings

[jstnbr]

The boilerplate uses a defaults object, but what does the code look like to update a setting of the plugin globally?

For example, if my plugin has a default setting message: 'Hello, world!' how can I update that default setting, so that anytime the plugin is called it would already be changed to message: 'New message.'

I have tried something like this

myPlugin.defaults = {
    message: 'New message.'
};

Here's how you might achieve this:

// Assuming your plugin is defined like this in your boilerplate
var myPlugin = {
defaults: {
message: 'Hello, world!'
},
// Other plugin methods and functionality
};

// Update the default setting globally
myPlugin.defaults.message = 'New message.';

// Now, anytime the plugin is used, it will use the updated default setting
