UI plugins should expose defaults

[scottgonzalez]

UI plugins should expose their default settings so they can be changed by the user.

What exactly do you mean by exposing the default settings?

[scott.gonzal]

In the resizable constructor, the following code is used to set the default settings:

    //Prepare the passed options
    this.options = $.extend({
      preventDefault: true,
      transparent: false,
      minWidth: 10,
      minHeight: 10,
      aspectRatio: false,
      disableSelection: true,
      preserveCursor: true,
      animate: false,
      duration: 'fast',
      easing: 'swing',
      autohide: false
    }, options);

If that was changed to:

    //Prepare the passed options
    this.options = $.extend($.ui.resizable.defaults, options);

And:

$.ui.resizable.defaults = {
      preventDefault: true,
      transparent: false,
      minWidth: 10,
      minHeight: 10,
      aspectRatio: false,
      disableSelection: true,
      preserveCursor: true,
      animate: false,
      duration: 'fast',
      easing: 'swing',
      autohide: false
};

Then users could change the default behavior by changing the defaults. For instance, if I wanted all of my resizable elements to resize slowly, I could do:

$.ui.resizable.defaults.duration = 'slow';

Fixed for dialogs in [4695].

Already done in accordion.

[scott.gonzal]

That should have been:

    //Prepare the passed options
    this.options = $.extend({}, $.ui.resizable.defaults, options);

Moved to UI bug tracker, I think.
