Is it possible to reset a jQuery deferred object state?

Question

Is it possible to reset a resolved jQuery object to an \'unresolved\' state and kick off it\'s initialization and callbacks all over again?

The specific thing I\'m d

Answer 1

An example of a possible solution is:

$.myDeferredList = [];
$.createRestorableDeferred = function(a,b) {
    // JUST BY SIMPLE $.when().then();
    $.myDeferredList[a] = {
        deferred: $.Deferred()
        , then: b
        ,restore : function() {
            $.myDeferredList['myReady'].deferred = $.Deferred();
            $.when($.myDeferredList['myReady'].deferred).then($.myDeferredList['myReady'].then);
        }
        ,resolve : function() {
            $.myDeferredList['myReady'].deferred.resolve();
        }
    }
    $.when($.myDeferredList['myReady'].deferred).then($.myDeferredList['myReady'].then);
    window[a] = $.myDeferredList['myReady'];
}

 var counter = 0;
 $.createRestorableDeferred('myReady', function () {
     console.log('>> myReady WHEN called',++counter);
     $.myDeferredList['myReady'].restore();

 });

// RESOLVING ways

$.myDeferredList['myReady'].deferred.resolve();
$.myDeferredList.myReady.deferred.resolve();
myReady.resolve();

Results in console:

 >> myReady WHEN called 1

 >> myReady WHEN called 2

 >> myReady WHEN called 3
