I'm looking at Infragistic's code from a sample page and they have the following jQuery statement that is confusing me:

<table id="grid">

$("#grid").igGrid({ "caption" : "This is a caption for the grid"});

I know that $("#grid") is selecting the table element, but what is .igGrid? It looks like it's assigning an object (igGrid) that contains properties (?), but how? How is .igGrid not flagged as an error?

    `igGrid` is the name of the jQuery method being called. It's non-standard so must have been explicitly included in your project. For your own reference, it's easy to create your own jQuery plugins: https://learn.jquery.com/plugins/basic-plugin-creation/ – Rory McCrossan Mar 12 '20 at 13:37

  • Ah, it's a plugin. Thank you. – milop Mar 12 '20 at 13:47

It is not assigning any object, it is converting your table to DataGrid.
DataGrid(part of Ignite UI) is a jQuery plug-in like any other plug-ins e.g. DataTable, Steps etc.
This will add additional customizable features to your table. Follow the documentation here.
There must be a reference to Ignite UI js in this page.
