Get selector used to init plugin within plugin

Question

How to get the selector used to initialise a plugin within the plugin?

My first idea was to use $(this).attr('class'); but that would retrieve all classes set.

edit

$('.thisSelector').pluginName();

How can I retrieve this selector within the plugin?

Answer 1

Actually, within a plugin, there is no need to wrap "this" in a jQuery function, so it's just

this.selector

Answer 2

$(this).selector see api docs
