Step 8: Finding the jQuery plugin options

Now we want to finally find the jQuery plugin options. These are the last parameter of the functions that we found in the previous step.

:keyboard: Write your query

Edit the file plugin-options.ql and copy there your previous query.

  1. Modify your from clause so that the variable that describes that jQuery plugin is of type DataFlow::FunctionNode. As the name suggests, this is a data flow node that refers to a function definition. By typing this variable with this type, your query will restrict the possible values for your plugin variable to this type only.
  2. Use auto-completion on that variable to browse the predicates of DataFlow::FunctionNode and find the one that will get you the last parameter of that function. This parameter is typed DataFlow::ParameterNode
  3. Modify your select statement to return both the plugin and the parameter.

Submit your query.
