How to use reinit method? Always get "reinit is not a function"

[justanotherco]

Hey there,

Trying to run the reinit method but can't understand how it works. Could you please look at this non-working pen and if possible point out what's wrong with it? The console always says reinit is not a function

Thanks in advance

Fixed with .data('hcSticky').reinit();

@justanotherco Actually it's a bug, it should be attached to the element directly. Thanks for noticing this, I'll fix it.

My bad, it shouldn't be on the element.

@justanotherco I've updated the plugin so now you can call the methods properly like this:

var $sticky = $('#element');

$sticky.hcSticky({
  stickTo: '#content'
});

// Call the refresh method
$sticky.hcSticky('refresh');

That's great news, thanks for the hard work! Out of curiosity, are there any benefits to using it that way instead of data('hcSticky') apart from the more standerized syntax?

In case I ever change the way the methods are attached to the jQuery object, by using standardised syntax you ensure that everything will continue to work properly.
