Description: Create stateful jQuery plugins using the same abstraction as all jQuery UI widgets.
You can create new widgets from scratch, using just the $.Widget
object as a base to inherit from, or you can explicitly inherit from existing jQuery UI or third-party widgets. Defining a widget with the same name as you inherit from even allows you to extend widgets in place.
For now, more details can be found at github.com/scottgonzalez/widget-factory-docs/.
