jquery构造器的实现

jQuery的$符号非常神奇，它可以接受一个字符，也可以接受一个文档对象或window对象，亦可以传个函数进行变为domReady加载器。显然，能做到这一步，其实现是相当的复杂，这个实现就是它的init方法，jQuery的真实构造器。它功能也随着版本的升级而升级，越来越长。

2009-01-13发布的1.3版

init: function( selector, context ) {
    // Make sure that a selection was provided
    selector = selector || document;

    // 处理节点参数,直接添加属性到新实例上
    if ( selector.nodeType ) {
        this[0] = selector;
        this.length = 1;
        this.context = selector;
        return this;
    }
    // 处理字符串参数
    if ( typeof selector === "string" ) {
        // 判定是否为HTML片断还是ID
        var match = quickExpr.exec( selector );
     
        if ( match && (match[1] || !context) ) {

            // 如果是HTML片断,转换一个由节点构造的数组
            if ( match[1] )
                selector = jQuery.clean( [ match[1] ], context );

            // 如果是ID,则查找此元素,如果找到放进空数组中
            else {
                var elem = document.getElementById( match[3] );

                // Make sure an element was located
                if ( elem ){
                    // 处理 IE and Opera 混淆ID与NAME的bug
                    if ( elem.id != match[3] )
                        return jQuery().find( selector );
                    var ret = jQuery( elem );
                    ret.context = document;
                    ret.selector = selector;
                    return ret;
                }
                selector = [];
            }
        } else
        //使用Sizzle处理其他CSS表达式,生成实例并返回
            return jQuery( context ).find( selector );
        // 处理函数参数，直接domReady
    } else if ( jQuery.isFunction( selector ) )
        return jQuery( document ).ready( selector );

    //处理jQuery对象参数，简单地将其两个属性赋给新实例
    if ( selector.selector && selector.context ) {
        this.selector = selector.selector;
        this.context = selector.context;
    }
    //将上面得到节点数组，用setArray方法把它们变成实例的元素
    return this.setArray(jQuery.makeArray(selector));
},

        jQuery.makeArray( selector, this );
},

接着是广受欢迎的2010-02-13发布的1.42版

init: function( selector, context ) {
    var match, elem, ret, doc;

    // 处理空白字符串,null,undefined参数
    if ( !selector ) {
        return this;
    }
    // 处理节点参数
    if ( selector.nodeType ) {
        this.context = this[0] = selector;
        this.length = 1;
        return this;
    }	
    // 处理body参数(新增)
    if ( selector === "body" && !context ) {
        this.context = document;
        this[0] = document.body;
        this.selector = "body";
        this.length = 1;
        return this;
    }

    // 处理字符串参数,分七种情形：
    //①单个标签,带对象属性包           --->   jQuery.merge
    //②单个标签,不带对象属性包         --->   attr + jQuery.merge
    //③复杂的HTML片断                 --->   buildFragment + jQuery.merge
    //④ID选择器,与找到的元素的ID不同   --->   getElementById + Sizzle + pushStack
    //⑤ID选择器,与找到的元素的ID相同   --->   getElementById + 简单属性添加
    //⑥标签选择器                     --->   getElementsByTagName + jQuery.merge
    //⑦其他CSS表达式                  --->   Sizzle + pushStack
    if ( typeof selector === "string" ) {
        match = quickExpr.exec( selector );
        if ( match && (match[1] || !context) ) {
            if ( match[1] ) {
                doc = (context ? context.ownerDocument || context : document);
                ret = rsingleTag.exec( selector );
                if ( ret ) {
                    if ( jQuery.isPlainObject( context ) ) {
                        selector = [ document.createElement( ret[1] ) ];
                        jQuery.fn.attr.call( selector, context, true );

                    } else {
                        selector = [ doc.createElement( ret[1] ) ];
                    }
                } else {
                    ret = buildFragment( [ match[1] ], [ doc ] );
                    selector = (ret.cacheable ? ret.fragment.cloneNode(true) : ret.fragment).childNodes;
                }
					
                return jQuery.merge( this, selector );
            } else {
                elem = document.getElementById( match[2] );

                if ( elem ) {
                    if ( elem.id !== match[2] ) {
                        return rootjQuery.find( selector );
                    }
                    this.length = 1;
                    this[0] = elem;
                }

                this.context = document;
                this.selector = selector;
                return this;
            }
        } else if ( !context && /^\w+$/.test( selector ) ) {
            this.selector = selector;
            this.context = document;
            selector = document.getElementsByTagName( selector );
            return jQuery.merge( this, selector );
            
        } else if ( !context || context.jquery ) {
            return (context || rootjQuery).find( selector );
        } else {
            return jQuery( context ).find( selector );
        }
        // 处理函数参数，直接domReady
    } else if ( jQuery.isFunction( selector ) ) {
        return rootjQuery.ready( selector );
    }
    //处理jQuery对象参数
    if (selector.selector !== undefined) {
        this.selector = selector.selector;
        this.context = selector.context;
    }
    //无论是数组还是类数组（如NodeList），统统使用jQuery.makeArray来为实例添加新的元素
    return jQuery.makeArray( selector, this );
},

另附上makeArray方法与merge方法，merge方法好神奇啊，

	makeArray: function( array, results ) {
		var ret = results || [];

		if ( array != null ) {
			// The window, strings (and functions) also have 'length'
			// The extra typeof function check is to prevent crashes
			// in Safari 2 (See: #3039)
			if ( array.length == null || typeof array === "string" || jQuery.isFunction(array) || (typeof array !== "function" && array.setInterval) ) {
				push.call( ret, array );
			} else {
				jQuery.merge( ret, array );
			}
		}

		return ret;
	},
	merge: function( first, second ) {
		var i = first.length, j = 0;

		if ( typeof second.length === "number" ) {
			for ( var l = second.length; j < l; j++ ) {
				first[ i++ ] = second[ j ];
			}
		
		} else {
			while ( second[j] !== undefined ) {
				first[ i++ ] = second[ j++ ];
			}
		}

		first.length = i;

		return first;
	},

2011-01-23发布的1.5版，其init方法与1.42的变化不大：只有两处做了改动：

//1.42
-  ret = buildFragment( [ match[1] ], [ doc ] );
-  selector = (ret.cacheable ? ret.fragment.cloneNode(true) : ret.fragment).childNodes;
//1.5
+ ret = jQuery.buildFragment( [ match[1] ], [ doc ] );
+ selector = (ret.cacheable ? jQuery.clone(ret.fragment) : ret.fragment).childNodes;

//1.42
- return jQuery( context ).find( selector );
//1.5
+ return this.constructor( context ).find( selector );//目的就是为了不再生成新实例

2011-05-02发布的jquery1.6，变化不大，只是对HTML片断进行了更严密的判定：

// Are we dealing with HTML string or an ID?
   if ( selector.charAt(0) === "<" && selector.charAt( selector.length - 1 ) === ">" && selector.length >= 3 ) {
  // Assume that strings that start and end with <> are HTML and skip the regex check
    match = [ null, selector, null ];
   } else {
    match = quickExpr.exec( selector );
   }

总体来说,jQuery的构造器已经做得非常之完美,基本上达到“改无可改”的地步了。但是要保证其高效运作，我们还需要一点选择器的知识与了解buildFragment方法的运作，因为这两个实在太常用了，但也是最耗性能的。
