When you create a plugin you always need to return the current jQuery object for the element which allows for method chaining, also rather then using the keydown() and keyup() methods you should be using the on() method as it has event delegation built into it which allows for more dynamic event handlers in the DOM. See the below code which i updated to reflect this.
(function($) {
$.fn.codeScanner = function() {
return this.each(function() {
var scanID = '';
this.on({
keydown :, function(e) {
scanID += 'ok';
},
keyup : function(e) {
alert(scanID);
}
});
});
};
})(jQuery);
