Quick Answer
Update plugin config dynamically: expose an "option" method: $el.myPlugin("option", "color", "blue"). Inside: var state = $el.data("myPlugin"); state.settings.color = "blue"; $el.data("myPlugin", state); Then apply the change to the DOM. This is the jQuery UI widget pattern - users can set/get options without re-initializing the entire widget.
